Some hotels transcend the ordinary, going beyond basic accommodation and turning the entire room into a designed work of art. In some cases, this will involve hiring a specific artist to outfit the entire establishment, while other hotels will assign each room to a different artist or a different theme.
Life-sized murals, walls covered in street art and playful pop art paintings turn these rooms into your own personal exhibit.

The focal point of the exhibition is a piece titled, "Twight Series," a series of paintings inspired by the Buddhist Philosophy she lives by,
"You can meditate on each title," Canas explains to the Guardian, "and you can manifest that into your life, whether it's prosperity, healing or fertility. There's so many possibilities. I thought that was really fascinating." Canas also created accompanying verses to go along with each image. The small phrases serve as a tool to further investigate the spiritual nature of her work, though she was hesitant to write them at first, saying: "You don't want to be too esoteric but you want to help take the ideas and the thoughts you have when you think of the title and focus them."
Despite her international recognition as an abstract artist Canas was drawn back to her artistic roots three years ago when she decided to move back to Lsbon , Portugal, buy a beach house and create...Canas has been the subject of three gallery exhibitions so far, but the "Twilight Series" represents a convergence of her interest in spirituality, culture and the unknown..just beautiful the artist & her works...
