Artists in Residencia
About The Programme
Art in Deià is everywhere. Through the ages, artists, musicians and writers have retreated into the picturesque village to be inspired by the Tramuntana Mountains, the sublime sea views and the luminous Mediterranean light. Today, La Residencia welcomes emerging artists aspiring to complete a fruitful residence — taking the magic and inspiration of this island and transferring it to fellow creatives and guests who pass through. Discover Artists In Residencia, one of our unique creative programmes.
Our Commitment
Meet The Artists From 2023
Last year, we welcomed Anastasiia Podervianska, Sislej Xhafa and the duo of artists Pixy Liao & Takahiro Morooka, who successfully joined our Artists In Residencia programme.
Anastasiia Podervianska
Influenced by reflections on life, death, fables and femininity, the Ukrainian artist offers a unique perspective through her textile works of art. Using carefully hand-embroidered designs and intricate stitching techniques, Anastasiia’s work explores the multifaceted and unpredictable nature of life and has been exhibited in museums and art collections throughout the world.
Sislej Xhafa
Born in Pejë, Kosovo, Sislej is known for his artistic investigation into the social, economic and political realities associated with the various complexities of modern society. In 2022, Xhafa founded ARKIV, the Institute of Contemporary Art. A public, non-profit NGO located at the current public school of Pejë. Sislej lives and works in New York.
Pixy Liao
Brooklyn-based artist Pixy Liao is our third resident. A multidisciplinary creative featured in Fotografiska, Les Rencontres d’Arles and Asia Society, she explores the concept of relationship through showcases and true-to-life experiments with her partner, musician and artist Takahiro Morooka.
