Art in Ibiza: 5th Edition of Hotel Anfora exhibitions

For the past five years, Hotel Anfora has been showcasing art made in Ibiza through its yearly programme of temporary exhibitions, which you can enjoy throughout the summer if you're a hotel guest or if you're coming over to spend a fabulous pool day with the Anfora Day Pass.

Ibiza has been influencing artists’ creativity since early 20th century, when the island began to lure intellectuals and creators who were fascinated by its stunning landscapes, its ethnographic and architectural wealth and its remoteness from the fashions and conventions of those times. This fascination continued during the 50s, 60s and 70s, as we see in the permanent collection shown at Ibiza’s Contemporary Art Museum in Dalt Vila.

Art exhibitions in 2025: the island steals the limelight

In honour of the long art tradition upheld at the village of Santa Eularia des Riu, our hotel will once again curate several art exhibitions over the summer months where the island takes central stage through authors who were either born in Ibiza or adopted it as their home. From 11th April till 27th October, seven artists will be hanging their work on the walls in the common areas at Hotel Anfora to delight our guests and visitors. In all cases, the work displayed will be for sale, so if you fall in love with a specific work of art, go ahead and ask us and we’ll be happy to give you any information you need.

Antonio Hormigo: Ibiza’s most prominent sculptor

The hotel will display a selection of the work created by this well-known sculptor who died in 2019. The art of the most prominent sculptor in Ibiza’s history will be exhibited in different areas of our lounge-bar during the entire summer, so you’ll get the chance to admire them during your stay at our modern hotel in Es Canar. His wood carvings usually feature the human body and are always carved out of carefully chosen tree branches or trunks.

Miguel Angel Garcia

Ibiza’s landscape stars in the paintings of this artist. Working on small, medium and large canvases, this painter mixes oils and oxides for his paintings. As a tribute to the village of Santa EulAria des Riu, Miguel Angel Garcia will devote a space to Puig de Missa, one of the most remarkable historical buildings on the island. Hotel Anfora will be displaying his work from 11th April until 30th May.

Julia Ribas

Native to Ibiza and born in 1973, she is one of the best known painters on the island, which is the focus of all her work. The traditional architecture, countryside and sea landscapes Julia Ribas knows so well, as well as the citadel of Ibiza, carry her unmistakable hallmark captured on canvas, reclaimed wood, paper or iron with colours born from a blend of ash, oxides, lime, soil... Paintings that bud from her roots and connect her and the spectator to a timeless Ibiza. Her selection of works will be displayed at Hotel Anfora from 1st June till 15th July.

Maite Carrasco

The island’s young artists have also earned a space at Hotel Anfora. This season, the hotel will be hosting this young artist who was born in Ibiza in 2007. From 16th July till 16th August, the common areas at the hotel will be showcasing a selection of her paintings.

Aida Miro and Melinda Balis

From 17th August until 17th September, Hotel Anfora will be hosting the only duo exhibition this summer to bring together the paintings and sculptures of Aida Miro and Melinda Balis, respectively. Titled “Diosas” (Goddesses), this exhibition takes a look at female deities, especially goddess Tanit, who was worshipped on the island by the Carthaginians and the Phoenicians. For this exhibition, these two artists bring together the island’s past myths and the present.

Marta Torres

This well-known Ibizan painter will be exhibiting a selection of her most recent work under the title Gats. Marta Torre Mari is famous for her mastery of textures, appreciated in her extensive work, and this exhibition will bring you closer to her unique creative personality. Soil, sand, juniper branches, stones and windows peak out of her paintings as a true emotional tribute to Ibiza’s aesthetic beauty. With this exhibition, on display from 18th September until 27th October, Hotel Ánfora will close its fifth edition of art exhibitions. Don’t miss it!
