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.

GRACIA ARRUIZ (Pamplona, ​​1996)

Gracia Arruiz is a young sculptor specializing in stone currently residing in Brooklyn, New York. She trained in Italy in 2020, where she worked in prestigious studios such as Franco Cervietti (Pietrasanta) and Torart (Carrara), collaborating on projects by artists such as Fabio Viale, Damien Hirst, and Jeff Koons. Her work combines Italian sculptural tradition with contemporary processes, notable for the refinement and detail in marble and other stones. Arruiz transforms everyday objects into poetic sculptures that reflect on time, permanence, and the female gaze in contemporary art. Works such as “Point of View” reinterpret contemporary icons, such as a pair of Carrara marble sunglasses. In 2024, she moved to New York City with an extraordinary talent visa, where she continues to develop her personal practice and collaborate with leading sculpture studios.
