Eduard Duval- Carrie


The Miami Art Week collaboration between Faena Hotel and Miami-based contemporary artist Edouard Duval-Carrié was so well received it will remain on display in Faena Library for guests to enjoy through the spring season.

During Miami Art Week 2021, Faena Miami Beach participated in the No Vacancy program. The juried art competition, organized by The City of Miami Beach and Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority, celebrates artists, provokes critical discourse, and invites the public to experience Miami Beach’s famed hotels as destination art spaces that are free and accessible to all.

Haitian-born artist, Duval-Carrié’s award-winning work addresses the multifaceted identities that make up the Caribbean diaspora. His mixed-media installation on view at Faena, Engraved Heads and Others from 2021, features 15 framed figures engraved on royal blue plexiglass whose faces collectively tell a story linked to the Caribbean region through their decorative traces.

At heart, Duval-Carrié is an educator. His decades of study are reflected in works that explore the impact of colonialism, politics, and religion in Haiti and beyond, as well as the indomitable spirit of the Caribbean community. The artist lives and works in Little Haiti, Miami, where he’s played a pivotal role in the neighborhood’s revitalization, persuading the city to include an art gallery at the Little Haiti Cultural Center that provides a platform for local artists to exhibit their work. His studio is teeming with a medley of mediums including resin, glass, and glitter, which he employs in his pieces to communicate the complex history of his people.

Where Fire and Flavor Ignite

"What makes Los Fuegos truly extraordinary is our commitment to the ancient art of cooking with fire,” explained Yassine Belkady, the restaurant’s manager. “We use no electricity whatsoever—just fire, wood ovens, and tradition” Everything has that distinctive char, those bold, nearly burnt flavors that taste almost primal. “When you dine here, you can literally smell the wood and rosemary in the air,” he added. The restaurant’s setting matches its culinary panache. By day, the veranda transforms into an airy ambience when its retractable roof opens to Miami’s brilliant skies. Guests enjoy lunch while overlooking the property’s stunning pool, creating what Belkady called “a completely different experience than any other hotel or restaurant in Miami.” 

Beneath the Tree of Life

Mornings here unfold slowly while guests sip on fresh-pressed juices—like the South Beach, a tropical elixir of coconut water, local citrus, mango, and strawberry, or a vitamin-rich Green Juice packed with spinach, kale, ginger, cucumber, celery and green apple. “The tranquility makes it really special,” noted Joshua Rodriguez, Director of Nightlife. “It’s a place where guests can grab a coffee, a light bite and relax or catch up on some emails.” A menu of delicious appetizers is great for snacking throughout the day, including crispy artichokes with sesame yogurt and sourdough breadcrumbs; prime rib empanadas with llajua sauce; and a vegan option of steamed veggie rice with sweet potato and broccoli. Come golden hour, the energy shifts. On weekends from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm, resident DJs set the mood as the bar transitions into a laidback sundowner haunt. The CopaCabana cocktail, a tropical indulgence of banana and apricot liqueur, coconut cream, allspice, and Bulleit Rye, is a guest favorite. “People order it because it’s served in a Faena-branded coconut, but it’s the taste that makes them request another one,” said Rodriguez.
