ABU DHABI: A 10-year-old artist has celebrated the 10th anniversary of Premier Inn Abu Dhabi International Airport Hotel with the creation of three masterpieces. Vidhaan Bankar, the son of General Manager Pratibha Bankar, has made three extraordinary drawings of the Abu Dhabi leadership marking this important milestone for the hotel.
The portraits of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, His Highness Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan and His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan are displayed at Premier Inn Abu Dhabi International Airport Hotel as part of its anniversary celebration.
“Growing up in Abu Dhabi, the Sheikhs have always been an inspiration to me and have encouraged me to keep on improving my work,” said Vidhaan. “They immediately came to mind when I was thinking about creating artwork for the 10th anniversary of Premier Inn Abu Dhabi International Airport Hotel. I am really excited about displaying my drawings at the hotel and invite everyone to visit the exposition and start drawing too. It’s so much fun to be creative!”
Simon Leigh, Managing Director, Premier Inn MENA, said: “We are thrilled to have Vidhaan Bankar, the son of our dedicated General Manager Pratibha Bankar, contribute his incredible talent to Premier Inn Abu Dhabi International Airport Hotel’s 10th anniversary celebration. The exhibition brilliantly reflects Premier Inn’s commitment to supporting young talent, fostering creativity, and connecting with the local community.”
