Forbidden Fruit and Ferraris: Inside Creativo's Sinfully Spectacular Fifth Anniversary Bash

Imagine stepping into a Miami evening where Ferraris shimmer like forbidden fruit, their glossy curves evoking temptation, while a rooftop gallery transforms into a mythological paradise, draped in the glow of neon lights. This year, Creativo, in partnership with the Ferrari Club of Miami, celebrated its fifth anniversary with an unforgettable Art Basel soirée. Hosted at the iconic Eichholtz rooftop, the venue was transformed into an artistic re-imagining of the "Adam & Eve" narrative—fusing timeless mythology with the audacity and excess of contemporary Miami culture.

Guests entered a world where the sensual and the sacred collided. The evening unfolded as a grand exploration of creation, rebellion, and indulgence, a true celebration of both the divine feminine and Miami’s unapologetic excess.

From the moment guests arrived, the atmosphere crackled with electric anticipation. The transformation of the venue was nothing short of spectacular: performers embodied both biblical archetypes and rock legends, creating an aura of myth and modernity. Miller the Muse, a breathtaking performer, embodied a literal Adam’s apple, delivering Tina Turner’s hits in a hypnotic blend of vulnerability and power. The crowd, enveloped in the performance, was captivated by her every move, a living representation of both Eve’s sensuality and rock ‘n’ roll rebellion.

The sleek Ferraris outside, lined up like serpents at the entrance, stood as perfect symbols of temptation—glistening under the Miami moonlight with an aura of forbidden desire. At the heart of the spectacle, a stunning Ferrari horse sculpture by Michaelangelo Foundry towered over the crowd—a masterful fusion of classic form and kinetic energy, bringing an entirely new interpretation to the idea of creation.

Among the notable attendees was ESPN commentator Eduardo Perez, whose effortlessly cool demeanor complemented the evening’s seamless blend of art, fashion, and celebrity. His presence was just one of the many star-studded moments that punctuated the night, adding an extra layer of sophistication to the affair. Guests revealed the blend of high society and avant-garde artistic expression, creating an energy that was both exclusive and inclusive.

As the night wore on, Sasha Bernier, the founder of Creativo, reflected on the milestone with a mixture of awe and pride: “This fifth anniversary is bittersweet—a moment to celebrate how far we’ve come, while realizing how fast it’s flown. Creativo began as a small garden gathering five years ago, and now, it’s a community that celebrates creativity and pushes boundaries.” The event, which started in intimate spaces, has grown into one of Miami's must-attend art gatherings—bringing together both established and emerging voices in the art world.

Inside the venue, an all-female art showcase curated by the brilliant Abigail MacFadden explored themes of sensuality, creation, and transformation—capturing the evening's essence of divine femininity. Lauren Whitfield recited her poem silhouette as a prelude to Elsa Marie Keefe’s mesmerizing interpretive dance as Eve, which captured the tension between temptation and empowerment. Her interpretation was a powerful visual metaphor for the personal journey of discovery and defiance, allowing her to connect with the crowd on a deeply emotional level. 

Adding a touch of spice and the unexpected to the evening were the Original Sin Spin girls, who wowed the crowd with their rollerskating moves and sparkly outfits. Skating to beats like Mariah Carey’s Fantasy, Beautiful by Pharrell Williams and Obsesion - a classic Miami vibe - the soundtrack was a celebration of the feminine mystique. 

Meanwhile, Marie Chloe Duval presented her painting Bouquet of People series, a collection of vivid floral arrangements that cleverly doubled as abstract portraits. The juxtaposition of nature’s beauty with human form mirrored the evening's ongoing theme of sensuality intertwined with creation. Anastasia Butacova’s Summer in Eden, a serene and evocative depiction of a nude figure in a lush garden, captured the delicate balance between nature, innocence, and vulnerability.

The works on display were a testament to the evolving definitions of beauty and the divine feminine. Cloe Galasso’s orb-inspired pieces symbolized the cycle of life and creation, while Oriana Pirela used AI-animated portraits to create an otherworldly vision of human identity, merging technology and traditional forms of expression. Gamayuna took it a step further by creating live art in real-time, offering an experience that was as much about witnessing the act of creation as it was about the finished piece.

The evening was a true celebration of the diversity of artistic expression. Karolina Karlsson’s Gemini series explored the duality of identity, presenting mirrored female figures that sparked contemplation about the complexities of human nature and personal transformation. Francie Cohen’s work, with its playful yet profound depictions of apples and flowers, added a whimsical touch to the evening, connecting the evening’s theme with a fresh and youthful take on temptation and growth.

For Elsa Marie Keefe, this anniversary marked a personal evolution, with her nature-inspired photography representing her artistic growth since Creativo's inaugural Adam & Eve event in 2019. Each artist’s contribution spoke to the overarching theme of transformation, celebrating both the eternal and the evolving aspects of femininity.

No great event would be complete without an indulgent experience for all the senses. The libations—crafted with precision and flair—matched the evening’s artistic energy. Lalo Tequila, Old Elk Bourbon, Strega Liquor, Lagoon Bay, Askur Gin, Santo Gusano, Barcelo Rum, Voga Wines, Strega Liquor, and Helix 7 Vodka flowed freely as guests mingled, each drink more decadent than the last. The culinary offerings—Mediterranean bites from Sufrat Grill and Casafinca—were as bold as the art, balancing rich flavors and light textures to fuel the evening’s revelry. 

As the night went on, DJ Davo, DJ T305, and Zuleika ignited the crowd with their electrifying beats, ensuring that the rooftop pulsed with energy. The roller-skating performers, gliding effortlessly through the space, added a layer of surrealism that amplified the sense of magic in the air.

Creativo's strategic partnerships ensured that every detail of the evening was elevated. Zenerchi Retreats, with their commitment to wellness, brought a healing energy that resonated throughout the night. Founder Dr. Yi Song’s vision of transformation was embodied in the carefully curated experience, while Dr. Jarrett Schanzer’s B12 shots helped partygoers stay energized. Chase Lawyers ensured the event ran without a hitch, while Michaelangelo Foundry added a cosmic dimension with Lorenzo Ghiglieri’s Theater of the Universe, an exploration of humanity's place within the vast cosmos.

By the time the final beats faded and the Ferraris gleamed under the moonlight, it was clear that this was not just an event—it was an immersive experience. The night had transcended its physical elements to become a true testament to the power of art, transformation, and community. Creativo once again proved that in Miami, an event is never just a party—it is an unforgettable work of art.
