From shared silence and attentive listening, a common voice emerges
Ana Sofia Morales
Ana Sofía Morales is a multidisciplinary Mexican artist from Mexico City, working across watercolor, jewelry, and textiles. Her work is inspired by water and its many manifestations. Through fossil-like forms, transparencies, and layers of light, her practice explores the boundaries of the body, emptiness, and the subtle veil between the visible and the invisible.
In addition, she combines her artistic exploration with her textile project Fata Morgana, a research-based practice that transforms movement, perception, and memory into kimonos, turning intuition and sensory experience into a practice that makes the invisible tangible.

A contemplative study of the land that once was water, of the emptiness that becomes a container by being empty. A container for reflection, for silence, and for the language that speaks of time upon the body. Bringing water to the desert, returning the sea to the desert.
Vera Edwards is a painter born in California and based in Mallorca, whose work explores themes related to emotion, language, and childhood memories. Inspired by her natural surroundings in Felanitx, her oil paintings evoke the earthy, textured landscape of the island, imbuing her work with a sense of tranquility and connection to nature. On her canvases, she creates mystical worlds and celestial landscapes, personal scenes that resonate universally.
A recurring theme in her work is childhood innocence, depicted through simplified, often faceless child figures that evoke nostalgia and universal emotional warmth. Her practice, described as introspective and vibrant, is characterized by a blend of expressiveness and contemplation.

“The desert dust seeps into you, slowly, until it becomes part of your very being.”
“My residency at Casa Ta-Matsi was a very special experience. The energy there is charged with a profound worldview, difficult to put into words. It’s something felt beyond thought.
In the desert, where there are no distractions, one is compelled to turn inward. Nowadays, it is a true luxury to disconnect from the world in this way, to return to the simplicity of the natural rhythm, to feel time stretch and expand. Every time I have created there, something completely new has emerged in my work, as if a different door opens each time.”
Quentin Jorda is a French artist whose painting is built through successive layering and erasure. He works in oil, often using a palette knife or cloth, creating a dense material that breathes through removal and reapplication. The composition emerges slowly, from fragile balances between suggested forms and open areas. Each painting thus becomes a space of exploration—between control and surrender—where the figure can appear, dissolve, and be reborn in a different way.

“The experience of the Wirikuta desert was a significant moment in my journey, a unique step into the vastness.”
“Reflections and desires naturally come into harmony, and art emerges from there stronger, more essential. In the silence, invisible presences appear… Soon, they surround you and guide you to places you once avoided… At last, I, the ‘white European,’ have reconnected there with the ancestral forces of the Earth, with its form, its essence, and perhaps even with its face. Wirikuta is a sacred place, and being invited to paint there was a true privilege.”
