Introduction to the Vision
At ArtSpark Consultants, we see every project as an opportunity to transform spaces through the power of art. Domes of Corfu, Autograph Collection by Marriott, is a shining example of this ethos. From the very beginning, art was a foundational element in the resort’s design, offering us the rare opportunity to collaborate closely with the architectural team of Makridis Associates and craft a truly immersive experience for its guests.
Our mission for Domes of Corfu was clear: to approach the project as a unified artistic vision rather than a mere collection of artworks.
A Narrative-Driven Concept
At the heart of the project lies the timeless tale of Odysseus and his legendary stop in Corfu before reaching Ithaca. This storyline became the thematic backbone of our curatorial approach, guiding every decision and anchoring the resort’s artistic narrative.
The goal wasn’t to illustrate the story but to evoke its essence through abstract and conceptual forms. By doing so, the artwork enriches the guest experience, offering layers of meaning that unfold with time. Whether the visitor is a casual observer or a seasoned art enthusiast, the interplay between the pieces creates a lasting impression of depth and discovery.
One Vision, One Artist
To maintain a cohesive narrative and artistic style, we made the bold decision to work with a single artist. This ensured not only a unified aesthetic but also mirrored the singular, introspective journey of Odysseus himself.
We collaborated with Theodoros Zafeiropoulos, an exceptionally talented artist known for his ability to explore complex concepts and work with diverse materials. His contributions brought the narrative to life, crafting a journey across the resort’s spaces that unfolds like chapters of a story.
From the lobby to the suites, Zafeiropoulos’ works establish a continuous dialogue. The materials, colors, and forms speak to each other, inviting guests to engage with the art in new and unexpected ways.
Art as an Immersive Experience
What sets the art curation at Domes of Corfu apart is its ability to function narratively without being overtly representational. Guests are greeted with an artistic vision that can be felt intuitively, even if its deeper layers aren’t immediately apparent.
For those with a passion for art, the resort offers delightful surprises at every turn. The story unfolds subtly, creating an immersive journey that seamlessly integrates with the architecture and ambiance of the space.
The Outcome
The collaboration between ArtSpark Consultants, Theodoros Zafeiropoulos, and the Domes team resulted in more than just a curated collection—it is a holistic artistic experience. By placing art at the heart of the design, Domes of Corfu achieves something truly unique: a space that resonates emotionally, intellectually, and aesthetically with every guest.
