Ses12naus works to support contemporary art and encourage creative experimentation. Established with the mission of providing a nurturing environment for artists to develop their practices in dialogue with the unique context of Ibiza, the foundation seeks to enrich the island’s cultural scene.<\/p>\n\n
Andr\u00e9s Izquierdo’s first residency at Ses12naus marked a turning point in his relationship with Ibiza. The artist researched and interacted with sacred geological formations, communities, rites, symbolism, myths and everything that has made this island a place of pilgrimage, catharsis and psychological growth.<\/p>\n\n
For his second stay on the island, the artist has embarked on a research project through which he aims to continue his exploration of spirit and landscape, understanding the island as a psychological and emotional catalyst, in contrast to the latent anxiety and aggressiveness of the great cosmopolises.<\/p>\n\n

Andr\u00e9s Izquierdo presented at La Carpinter\u00eda the outcome of his second residency on the island, a new sculptural ensemble produced mainly in earthy and clay compounds, using this materiality to speak of the substrate as a place of transit and as a generator of life of a cyclical nature.
