Then Albert Pinya could be your man
Having visited the island of Mallorca many times my art interest can't escape me.
I visited Albert's studio and began to realise what a talent he is.
Albert Pinya lives and works in Palma, born 1985
Through drawings, painting, sculptures and installations he creates an imaginary scenery full of figures and colours… the Pinya’s Universe. His artworks are inspired by films, TV series and cartoons
Albert has produced many recent installations, one recently called " Artifacts words and children 28/5/2021.
Also working with famous ceramist Joan Pere Català Roig 2021
Albert won the Medal of Honour at BMW Award 2016; the Arco Madrid Prize by the Spanish Association of Critics.
In 2007 he received the First Prize of the Art Jove, Illes Balears program and was selected by the Italian curator Achille Bonito Oliva to be part of the exhibition "No more going on", "The game’s on", at the Vostell-Malpartida Museum, Cáceres, Spain. In 2008, he started moving into the international scene with exhibitions in Spain and Europe, China, America.
In recent years, he has participated to exhibitions such as Panta Rei. Towards a new paradigm at Pelaires Contemporary Cultural Center (Palma de Mallorca, Spain); Hybridizations: the ghost of painting curated by Susana Sanz at White Box in Beijing, China; Recent Works curated by Gianluca Ranzi at MAC-Museo d’Arte Contemporanea di Lissone, Monza, Italy; Micrografts (Bypass) curated by Tolo Cañellas at Es Baluard Museum of Contemporary Art, Palma de Mallorca, Spain; Seen and not seen in Baleares curated by Lorena Martínez de Corral at Matadero, Madrid, Spain Lost in Chaos curated by Rossella Farinotti at Palazzo delle Stelline, Milan, Italy; Proud to be a painter curated by Alberto Zanchetta at Allegra Ravizza Gallery, Lugano, Switzerland. In 2016 he was special guest artist at the 19th edition of the Hausacher Leselenz Poetry Festival curated by the poet José F. A. Oliver, Hausach, Germany.
Since then he has been working towards many other shows and also opening is studio to collectors.
With a pedigree like this Albert's work is certainly one for the future.
We have four works currently in the gallery and not yet on the website, come and have a look they are totally amazing.
Many thanks for reading and a normal update post will be up early next week,
