Art Madrid'24 – ROYAL BLISS SPONSOR OF ART MADRID ON ITS 15TH ANNIVERSARY

Art Madrid celebrates its 15th edition with the sponsorship of Royal Bliss a festive and transformative proposal to celebrate art in all its glory.

The Crystal Gallery of the Palacio de Cibeles in Madrid becomes a experiential space and artistic transformation to promote art in all its forms and styles. From Art Madrid'20 we want the public to enjoy a complete event during the five days of the fair. To observe, perceive and interpret the experience of attending an art fair. What better way to do this than with the collaboration and sponsorship of Royal Bliss and their commitment to the freedom of mixing. Because with Royal Bliss you can mix as you like and thus discover your own work of art, that is Freedom to mix.

Thus, Royal Bliss trusts in the mixture of two apparently unconnected disciplines: art and mixology. Thanks to this union, the audience will be able to enjoy an extraordinary experience in the space that Royal Bliss will have within Art Madrid'20. A place dedicated to discovering the power of mixology in all its forms. On the one hand, we will have the possibility of tasting the mixes prepared with the wide range of mixers from Royal Bliss, with more than 40 shades that allow you to transform your cocktail in a versatile way until you reach the most personal result. The idea is to try and get to know all the possibilities offered by Freedom to mix, a proposal born from the need to get to know and expand new ways. Royal Bliss is committed to the liberalization of the mix, ensuring a good result when you risk transforming and exploring the path.

The direct artistic intervention could not be absent from this space. We materialized together the initial point which the union of Royal Bliss with Art Madrid takes place: to develop art in all its forms and styles, to investigate artistic expression and to demonstrate that art can be found in diverse places, from a canvas to a glass. To this effect, Royal Bliss presents five artists who will make their own interpretation of the painting "The Red Dog" by Paul Gauguin. Five paintings painted by the artists Alex de Marcos, Elena Gual, María Herreros, Sr García and Toni Ferrer. The final result will be the joint representation with the consecutive exhibition of the five versions made from the own interpretation of each artist. A great work of art based on the transformation and the mixture of the styles and personal visions of the artists. The development of the works will take place during the five days of the fair to accompany and star in this space from beginning to end.

The freedom to inspire, create and explore, to transform and mix are the foundations of Art Madrid and also of Royal Bliss. From observing a painting to enjoying and sharing a cocktail are part of this complete artistic experience. Not two editions of Art Madrid are the same. We are committed to change and development in contemporary art with a different staging alongside Royal Bliss so that each attendee gets a unique and personal experience from their visit. On February 26th, the great festival of art begins in the heart of Madrid.

 

“I paint in a completely free way, I don't have a plan, it's chaotic, but everything has a reason. I don't prepare anything before I start painting, what I paint is what I feel or try to communicate at that moment, so it changes a lot (from one work to another)”.

Cultura Inquieta once again joins the experience of discovering and celebrating creative talent within the broad spectrum of artistic expressions present at Art Madrid'24. As a supporter of culture and contemporary art, its commitment to promoting and supporting emerging artists is reflected in a special initiative in this edition: highlighting and supporting the work of the REVELATION ARTIST of the 19th edition.

In this context, Ana Malta emerges into the contemporary art scene with a fresh voice and her own visual aesthetic. Born in Lisbon in 1996, Malta is a talented visual artist and freelance designer who has captivated the public with her distinctive approach and bold exploration of the beauty of everyday spaces through her investigations of color.

Her studies in Painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon, as well as her Master's Degree in Creative Industries Management at the Catholic University of Portugal in Porto, have provided a solid foundation for her artistic practice. Currently, she also collaborates in the Communication and Production Office of Carpintarias de São Lázaro - Centro Cultural e Galeria Belo-Galsterer, showing her commitment to the cultural fabric of her community. She is also part of the artistic collective VÊS.TRÊS.

Ana Malta has been recognized in several platforms and media, including the 14th Edition of QUADRANTE, Melancia Mag and the SCROLL program of the RTP2 channel. Her participation in the book (AS)ARTISTAS - Ensaio Gráfico sobre Histórias e Práticas Artísticas no Feminino and in the April 21st Edition of Nova Awareness Club underlines her impact and relevance in the contemporary art scene.

Ana Malta's work is characterized by her exploration of color, patterns, composition, and texture. These elements are not only vehicles of her plastic and visual expression, but also embody an intimate dialogue between aesthetic restlessness and the transformation of error into opportunity.

It is exciting to see Ana Malta make her debut at Art Madrid'24, represented by Galeria São Mamede (STAND B3). Her presence promises to further enrich the artistic experience of the event, inviting the public to approach the visually captivating and conceptually stimulating universe that the artist creates to narrate the chaos she rearranges in shapes and colors.

In a world in constant movement, Ana Malta reminds us of the importance of experimentation and continuous exploration in the search for authentic and sincere artistic expression.

Her work has been REVEALED to us in the 19th edition of ART MADRID, thanks to the precise point of view of CULTURA INQUIETA as a testimony of the transforming power of art. In her hands, the entropy of forms brings us the possible memory of an endless summer; the luminosity of the sun becomes the caress of everyday life; we may even be surprised by the formula of happiness turned into a companion animal.

Ana Malta's pieces combines the restlessness of a space that appears to be in a state of chaos with the delicate synesthesia of vibrating at the velocity of light, nuances, lines and colors in her paintings.
