“A Night In Havana†art and fashion exhibition event, hosted by Celebrity TV Host Mariana Rodriguez, will feature a unique collaboration between renowned artist Humberto Benitez and fashion powerhouse Ella Bella RoZio. Guests will be transported back in time to Cuba in the 1950s to experience the sounds, cocktails by DIAGEO, gourmet Cuban food and cigar rolling by Azucar Cuban Cuisine & Cigars, silent auction, dancing and entertainment.
The exhibition will consist of seven of Benitez’s most famous paintings including Liliam, Vestido Azul, Los Invitados, Romance in the Bar, Tu Canción and El Alcazar, who are known for its vibrant colors, movement and texture, paired with Ella Bella RoZio’s Couture collection of unique and umcomprable artistic designs. Their use of intricately tailored silks and imported embellishments, intertwine the story told between fashion and art. The highlight of the evening will be a special unveiling of the collaboration between both artists, in an exclusive painting of Benitez called “Hilda,†inspired and dedicated to Benitez’s beloved aunt in Havana, who was a couture seamstress. The special painting will be available to guests as a limited edition poster that will be sold during the exhibition event.
