Spain is not just a territory, nor a word, it is an experience, a journey through the customs, icons, myths, passions, and sorrows of a country that has built its identity on courage. A nation that has engaged in dialogue with a world that, time and again, has sought to label it, but which has managed to escape the imposed margins, rejecting mere symbolism to assert itself in the iconic.

This exhibition celebrates the essence that makes Spain unique, using art to explore different historical periods and symbols deeply rooted in Spanish culture. The exhibition features works by contemporary artists such as La Ruman, Gracia Arruiz, and Ángel de León, which share the stage with works from the early 20th century that immortalize the paradigm of “Spanishness,” showcasing a unique and singular costumbrismo.

The encounter between times and perspectives generates a counterpoint that reveals the profound duality of Spanish tradition, creating a debate and questions that can only be answered through experience. In this case, the exhibition goes beyond the visual to be enriched by the voices of renowned figures from Spanish culture who, from different fields such as music, fashion, philosophy, and artistic creation, have contributed their own idea of what “Spain” means. A plural and versatile country that has built itself through the people who have lived there.

LA RUMAN
(Bayarque, Almería, 1993)

La Ruman (Isabel Mirallas Pindado) also studied Fine Arts in Aranjuez and in Macerata (Italy), where she developed some of her personal projects. Her work, essentially pictorial, also encompasses sculpture, installation, and digital collage, in a style defined by the artist as “Stately Costumbrismo” or “Iberian Epiphany.” Usually using acrylic on wood, the artist presents references from her childhood, some religious, along with famous brands and objects that can be found in traditional bars. She also creates portraits, in the style of a court painter, in which the attributes of those depicted are part of the “Cañí” essence that her work exudes.
