Through a variety of themes and narratives, the exhibitions convey a variety of messages from artworks and educate us about art, as well as their creators.

Artists’ Studios

Parts of an artist’s personality are etched into his works, while the rest is kept within his studio’s walls. But what have these artists’ fortresses hidden? What did the enchanted cycle of influence look like – the artist’s influence on the space, and the influence of the space on the artist and his works? Thanks to the medium that faithfully records moments and characters in eternity – the photograph, as well as the archive of the Spanish Cultural Heritage Institute, the audience will be able to take a look into the intimate spaces of Spanish artists’ studios. By observing the photographs on display, the public will enter the artist’s world in a discreet, yet powerful way. Rooms of various dimensions and ambiences are shown – from humble, improvised workshops to bright studios full of colors, paintings, and personal belongings. The photographs also reveal cultural differences, as well as the universality of the artist’s calling – dedication, discovery and constant experimentation.
