Dear all,
we would like to express our sincere thanks for taking part in the contest “Design the New Welcome Card.”
We were very happy to see how much enthusiasm this initiative received, inspiring creativity and artistic expression in all of you.
We are pleased to inform you that the jury met last week and selected the three winning artworks — not an easy choice, we assure you!
All the artworks, both winning and non-winning, will be displayed at Hotel Eliseo, where each of them will continue to share a unique and special view of our world.
🥇1st PRIZE: Marta Aheran
“There is something new today in the sun, or rather something ancient… yes, kites!” as Giovanni Pascoli wrote in his famous poem.
Kites are a symbol of childhood, joy, and happy memories. They make us think of children playing on the beach, in the past or today. The scene shows our beach, our sea, and our sun. There are also seagulls flying in the sky, their sounds mixing with the laughter of children.
In this image, kites and seagulls seem to become the same, creating a feeling of freedom and happiness.
The drawing is simple and essential. It does not try to impress, but invites us to enjoy the beauty of simple things. – Arch. Serafino Bartolucci
This is an invitation to appreciate simple and genuine moments, the ones that stay in our hearts. Sometimes they may not seem special, but they are exactly what we need — just like a stay at Hotel Eliseo.
🥈 2nd PRIZE: Horst Kagerbauer
Loving eyes have portrayed our Hotel Eliseo with many details, where reality and imagination blend with the simple and spontaneous style of a naïve painter. – Arch. Serafino Bartolucci
In this portrait, we can feel the essence of a place that is both real and dreamlike: Hotel Eliseo.
🥉3rd PRIZE: Clara Natali
The city renews itself to become more attractive and welcoming. This renewal is clearly represented, with a simple and original graphic style, in the design of the new “palata” of the canal port — a functional structure that also creates new perspectives and emotions. – Arch. Serafino Bartolucci
Soft sunset colors remain unchanged, reminding us that we can look ahead and reinvent ourselves without losing our true identity. A forward-looking vision that sees new possibilities in change. In many ways, this vision also tells the story of Hotel Eliseo.
