A Space of Inspiration and Reflection
In the Upper Part, a place that breathes history and beauty, is the La Catedral Art Gallery, a space dedicated to artistic expression that houses the works of the painter Josep Maria Rosselló. This gallery has become a meeting point for art lovers, inviting reflection and contemplation.
The Balcells House: A Testimony of the Past
The gallery occupies Casa Balcells, an emblematic building that was the residence of the Cathedral’s waiter, a position of great relevance in the Church. Historical figures such as Pope Luna and Queen Joana Enríquez have set foot in this space, which is now transformed into a stage for contemporary art.
Exhibitions that talk about Art and Life
Since its inauguration, the gallery has presented individual and collective exhibitions that have resonated in the local artistic scene. Currently, two outstanding collections of Rosselló are exhibited there: ‘La Suite Ponciana’ and ‘Experimental Da Vinci’, which offer a unique look at his work.
The Ponciana Suite: A Journey to the Inner World
With 29 works, ‘La Suite Ponciana’ reveals the most intimate facet of the artist, with a visual narrative that explores deep emotions. One of the most significant pieces, ‘Waltz’, has a fascinating story of recovery, symbolizing perseverance and connection to the past.
Experimental Da Vinci: A Dialogue with the Greatest
Outside, through the Gothic courtyard, visitors can admire ‘Experimental Da Vinci’, a series that reinterprets Leonardo’s lost work, exploring the mysteries of artistic creation and its impact on today’s society.
An Immersive Artistic Experience
The gallery is not just a place to see art, it offers a complete sensory experience. With careful lighting and a careful musical selection, each visit is transformed into an emotional journey that connects viewers with the works on display.
A Future Full of Possibilities
With Enric Batalla’s vision, the La Catedral Art Gallery aims to be a beacon for emerging talent, a space where young artists can show their work and develop their artistic sensitivity. In addition, the creation of an Art Club will facilitate access to art for all, promote the active participation of the community.
Final Reflections: Art as a Companion for Life
La Catedral Art Gallery does not only seek to exhibit works, but wants to awaken a genuine appreciation for art in society. Each painting, each sculpture is a window into the soul of the artist and a reminder of the transformative power of art in everyday life.
