Meeting Atif Aslam
In collaboration with Ticketbox
A Heartfelt Thank You to Ticketbox.mu – Honouring Art, Culture, and the Spirit of Mauritius
We are beyond grateful and deeply honoured that Ticketbox.mu chose Sapna Gallery Art as a meaningful and symbolic gift to present to the legendary artist Atif Aslam, during what was undeniably one of the most remarkable setups ever seen in Mauritius.
To be included in such a grand and culturally rich moment is a true milestone for me as an artist, and a celebration of what local art can represent when given the platform it deserves.
Bravo to the entire Ticketbox.mu team for this unforgettable event—the scale, the vision, the execution—it all came together to create an atmosphere full of life, soul, and artistic energy. Your passion and dedication to creating immersive experiences not only entertain but elevate our island’s image on the global stage.
A very special thank you to Ajay Deora, whose unwavering support and belief in the power of local talent continues to inspire. Thank you for choosing to celebrate Mauritian art, for seeing its value, and for amplifying its voice beyond borders. Your vision uplifts artists and creatives across the island and opens doors to incredible new opportunities.
For this momentous occasion, I had the honour of creating a one-of-a-kind painting: the majestic Le Morne Brabant at sunset—a site deeply symbolic of freedom and resilience in Mauritian history. I poured my heart into this piece, letting the warm sunset hues mirror the golden spirit of our people: kind, welcoming, and full of life.
The painting also features elements close to our national identity—the beloved dodo, lush tropical flora, and the vibrant natural palette that makes our island so unique. It was my intention to create not just a visual piece, but an emotional one—something that would carry the feeling of Mauritius, its heritage, and its heartbeat.
May this artwork serve as a lasting memory for Atif Aslam, a souvenir that carries with it the essence of our paradise island. May it remind him of the beauty, the love, and the warm embrace he received here in Mauritius.
To everyone who made this possible—thank you for believing in the power of art. Thank you for choosing a local story to share with an international star. And thank you for continuing to support Mauritian creatives in the most meaningful way.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Sapna
