If you're dropping in to Malaka Spice, Hotel Delmon, Panaji, do make sure to check out a new art exhibition 'The Journey by young artists Gaurabh Quenim which is on display till September 30.

A graduate in Hospitality and Management, Gaurabh Quenim's heart was however fixed on art. His artwork is an expression of his emotional and spiritual evolvement and hence there is a marked difference in his original styles and current work. Gaurabh has moved from realistic depictions to a semi-abstract artistic style. The viewer is drawn into each work through an optical illusion akin to a game of hide and seeks.

Gaurabh won the Goa State Award for Painting in the Emerging Artist Reward Scheme 2015 of the Prafulla Dahanukar Art Foundation
