Barcelona
The gallery proposes a total sensory experience — painting, photography, light, scent and music converge to create an expanded encounter with the work.
In Le Pli: Leibniz et le Baroque, Gilles Deleuze develops the idea of the fold as an ontological principle — not simply a form, but a logic of matter and thought: everything folds, unfolds and refolds infinitely.
Joan Alsina's photography can be understood as a Deleuzian practice: an investigation into how light folds the surface, how matter becomes visible thought, and how texture becomes the place where the sensible and the conceptual meet.
His series Synesthesia (2025) brings together painting and writing in a single gesture, exploring the crossover between perception and thought, sign and sensation.
Serie: Un hueso en la garganta
En la sociedad contemporánea, nos hemos acostumbrado a consumir imágenes y mensajes de forma pasiva. Estamos rodeados de arte comercial: visualmente simple, de colores brillantes, claro y seductor. Todo está diseñado para ser absorbido rápidamente, como la comida rápida.
Un hueso en la garganta utiliza esa misma simplicidad visual para atraer al espectador. Pero los significados que habitan en estas imágenes no se tragan tan fácilmente. Como un hueso en la garganta, interrumpen el consumo inmediato y dejan tras de sí un momento de fricción, incomodidad o reflexión.
Es una simplicidad que se resiste a ser tragada.
Ricard Robres — Artista & Director Creativo
Ricard Robres es un artista y director creativo con base en Barcelona que trabaja entre la pintura, la ilustración y la comunicación conceptual.
Su carrera abarca tanto el mundo del arte como marcas globales como Coca-Cola, Nestlé y Timberland, con trabajos reconocidos en Cannes Lions y New York Festivals.
Es autor de varios libros ilustrados y ha presentado su trabajo en exposiciones donde la narrativa y el lenguaje visual convergen.
Como creativo híbrido, se mueve con naturalidad entre el arte y la publicidad, entendiendo ambos como espacios de ideas sin fronteras. Su práctica explora la ironía, la emoción y la contradicción humana a través de una premisa simple: las ideas honestas crean conexiones reales.
Series: A Bone in the Throat
In contemporary society, we have grown accustomed to consuming images and messages passively. We are surrounded by commercial art — visually simple, brightly coloured, clear, and enticing. Everything is designed to be absorbed quickly, like fast food.
A Bone in the Throat uses that same visual simplicity to attract the viewer. But the meanings within these images do not go down so easily. Like a bone in the throat, they interrupt easy consumption and leave behind a moment of friction, discomfort, or reflection.
This is a simplicity that resists being swallowed.

The perfumer activates a unique aromatic composition that accompanies the exhibition of works, the light, and the music created by the gallery's artists.
Based in Barcelona, we work closely with each artist to develop a focused body of work, presenting it through solo and group exhibitions, publications, and international art fair partnerships.
She has curated the exhibition series Clavé amb Majúscules at the Palau Martorell, Reial Cercle Artístic, Sala Joan Gaspar and Palau de la Generalitat, and has been involved in cultural programming at the highest institutional level throughout Catalonia.
Joan Alsina's gallery is the beating heart of his practice — a vast, light-filled space in Barcelona where photography, sculpture, and performance converge. It is here that the body becomes canvas, that texture is applied, and that the long meditative process that precedes each work takes place.
The gallery is not merely a workspace. It is a laboratory of perception, a space for spiritual contemplation before creation. Each work in the Textures series is preceded by a period of stillness and preparation that can last hours — the gallery holding that silence.
Visitors, collectors and institutions are welcome to visit by appointment. The gallery is available for private viewings of works in progress and completed editions.
