Oriental Art

In cooperation with Arturo Dekker Samsara has created a presentation of pieces of Oriental art and antiquities.

You can see and buy pieces as The Dragon of Myanmar, the Imperial Lions, various pieces of bronze, Burmese puppets made by the tribe Kanerila or Thep Kinnaree, piece in which we have been inspired to create Himmapan's garden, the final part of our project; a space where you can enjoy a drink or some of the dishes of Samsara, but with an informal touch.

If you are interested in more information on how to purchase these or other pieces of the private collection of Arturo Dekker, you can do it directly on his phone 670 84 60 52.

The Wall...

The new challenge in Samsara has been transforming the walls of our terrace with a mural that covers the entrance of the Restaurant. We have enjoyed the collaboration of Micky Mendoza, artist who has done projects for institutions like the carnival in Las Palmas and various municipalities, as well as individuals and businesses.

Santi Carballo by Samsara

The next July 10 at 19:30 we'll open our 4th exhibition in Samsara. That is why we invite you to take a cocktail of champagne and know the work of Santiago Carballo.



After 10 years, which has consolidated a job and personal style, with collaborations for the Pasarela Moda Calida and his own atelier located in the C/Canalejas, 50, Las Palmas, the canarian designer Santi Carballo, designer has decided to shift in his career and presents in the art gallery Samsara their new jobs.



Two lines designed for women. The first, elegant and cosmopolitan where the quality of materials is accompanied by an exquisite treatment of materials, and the second, more youthful, linked directly with the origins of their craft work.

It also gives us a masculine style, this time sober than his usual works.

And finally, as first, a line for the professional; Santi has created a serie of supplements that are custom mold to the needs of each client.

La Luz Curva

Samsara Art Gallery is pleased to invite you to "LA LUZ CURVA" an exhibition of paintings by Irena Hosnova in which she introduce two lines of work that at first glance seem opposed.

The first is a world where the colour flows through tunnels, ascends and falls back into endless spirals.

The second line, dark and almost monochromatic presents a surreal world where women emerging from the darkness are transformed into birds, talk and walk between curves that sometimes end up in an explosion.

Two opposing views together by the femininity of a line tour ahead of the observer.

The inauguration will take place on June 12 at 19:00, in which the artist presented his work and offer a cocktail and may be accessed until day 30.

Irena Hosnova is an artist who was born in Plzen, a city in southern Bohemia in 1975. Daughter of painter Evzen Stork, studied Fine Arts in Prague. In 1993 he moved to Gran Canaria. There is still painting and exhibiting of individually and collectively in various galleries, including: Casa Condal (Maspalomas), German Consulate, Salon Atlantida Hotel Neptuno, Casa de Postas (Ingenio), D. Jose Chafer's notary, etc. ...
