Until 20 December 2025, kanvas Dubai is hosting 3MERSIVE: Three Artists, One Journey, a multi-sensory, digital art exhibition that combines visuals, motion, soundscapes, and immersive storytelling. The show, which features artworks by Kati Katona, Kristel Bechara, and András Nagy, is the result of a collaboration between kanvas and curator Astrid Lesuisse, aiming to turn digital art into tangible, sensory experiences.
Kati Katona is a Budapest-based multimedia artist and designer whose work focuses on generative and 3D animation, interactive installations, and projection mapping. Inspired by nature, she often makes visible the hidden geometries and flows found in it. Katona is interested in immersive spaces and spatial perception. Her pieces explore how digital animation, projection, and interactivity can reshape the viewer’s understanding of space, blurring boundaries between the physical and the virtual.
3MERSIVE features her Ocean Anthology, a breathtaking video installation that evokes the vastness and fluidity of the sea. The work explores water’s constant movement and transformation, reflecting on themes of change, depth, and balance between chaos and calm. The immersive video-loop and ambient presentation invite the viewer into a contemplative state.
Kristel Bechara, a Lebanon-born artist based in Dubai, works across traditional painting (oil and acrylic), mixed media, and digital art; her process often involves combining stencil-like drawings with expressive colours and layered textures to portray complex human emotions and the human condition. Notably, she is the first Arab female artist from the UAE and the Middle East who has launched and sold her own NFT collection titled Beauty in DeFi.
Bechara contributes A Symphony of Shadows and Light, a vibrant digital exhibition encompassing 15 years of her artistic evolution. The presentation comprises five chapters: Genesis of Passion, Celebration of Life, Voice & Vulnerability, Strength in Struggles, and Imaginarium. Each chapter expresses different emotional and existential states. Set to a musical backdrop composed by globally acclaimed composer Balázs Havasi, the show blends movement, colour, music, and storytelling to create a deeply immersive narrative of resilience, identity, transformation, and imagination.
Hungarian artist András Nagy studied visual art and classical music: a combination that laid the foundation for his later work merging image, light, sound, and space. Since around 2012, Nagy has focused on audiovisual performances, light sculptures, 3D video mapping, and interactive/generative media. His art tends toward abstraction and minimalism, favouring clean visual languages, geometric forms, and experimental light-and-sound structures.
3MERSIVE presents his Spatial Incisions, a work that challenges perception itself. Through a hypnotic interplay of light, geometry, and form, this installation plays with shifting dimensions and visual structures. It bends spatial awareness and redefines how we experience space. The art piece confronts viewers with a reimagined environment where boundaries and familiar spatial cues dissolve.
