Art Madrid'26 – MAKSLA XO from Latvia in Art Madrid?16

 

Obra de Helena Heinrihsons

 

 

Since 1999, the Latvian gallery MAKSLA XO, directed by Ilze Zeivate, has focused its activity in the contemporary and emerging art in all disciplines but with special fondness for painting, sculpture and works on paper.

 

 

Obra de  Ivars Heinrihsons.

 

Artists and themes are equally varied, ranging from the traditional representation, to the most contemporary forms of urban and social art.

 

For Art Madrid '16, the proposal of the gallery is based on the recent work of a couple of contemporary artists of Latvia Helena and Ivars Heinrihsone Heinrihsons.

 

 

 

 

Obra de Helena Heinrihsone.

 

 

Helena Heinrihsone - open, cheerful colors, expressive - works with painting, watercolor, lithography, animation and even porcelain. With its ability to paint a deeply personal way without any limits, the joys and pleasures experienced by the artist become adventures and feelings for the viewer. On the other hand, Ivars Heinrihsons has a sophisticated "achromatic" palette on what the line and the field in black are the basis of everything - expressiveness and stability -. Ivars Heinrihsons has a strong imaginary and he represents differents egos of people (including the the Heinrihsons itself), its original nature, spirit and intellect.

ART MADRID’ 26: 21 YEARS OF CONTEMPORARY ART


Discover all the information about the artists and galleries participating in the 21st edition of Art Madrid. The catalog features a curated selection of the works presented in this edition, along with the most relevant details of the event, making it an essential tool for engaging with the fair’s key figures and exploring the defining elements of today’s art scene.


In 2026, Art Madrid celebrates its 21st edition, further establishing itself as a leading event within Spain’s cultural sector. From March 4 to 8, the Galería de Cristal of the Palacio de Cibeles will once again become a meeting point for galleries, collectors, artists, and contemporary art enthusiasts.


Over the past twenty-one years, the fair has evolved into a dynamic and ever-expanding platform, fostering diversity in artistic languages, techniques, and discourses. In this edition, the Galleries Program brings together around 35 exhibitors from more than seven countries, offering a representative overview of the most recent developments in contemporary creation.


The Art Madrid ’26 catalog serves as a key publication for discovering the work of this edition’s galleries and artists —marked by experimentation and a plurality of perspectives— while also documenting the conceptual axes that shape the fair. As part of the Parallel Program, INHABITING THE EPHEMERAL: A Reflection on the “Species” of Spaces proposes a reflection on space, relationships, and shared experience, expanding the understanding of the fair beyond its commercial dimension and highlighting its cultural and experiential significance.


In addition, the catalog presents the initiatives that complete the program, such as the Open Booth dedicated to emerging creation, the Nebrija Space in collaboration with Nebrija University, the Performance Series “Open Infinite. What the Body Remembers,” the One Shot Collectors Program, and the Patronage Program, reaffirming the fair’s commitment to supporting, mediating, and accompanying contemporary art at every stage.

We invite you to discover more about Art Madrid ’26 through the catalog of its 21st edition — a publication that, beyond serving as documentary memory, becomes a cartography of the present artistic moment and an open door to new ways of inhabiting contemporary art.
