Hanna Kawan
Painting, Ceramics
-
Rooted in her fascination with nature, Hanna Kawan’s work reflects everything it transmits to her - what she learns from it and what she feels through it. Through this gesture, she does not seek to transport the viewer elsewhere, but rather to invite them to connect more deeply with what already exists around them. “Nature invites us every day to take part in and witness something unique; we only need to pause and observe.”
Patricia Paz
Painting, Ceramics
-
Patricia explores everyday imagery through painting, ceramics, and spatial intervention. Her artistic approach combines spontaneous painterly gestures with a strong narrative language. Her work is rooted in observation, emotion, memory, and spirituality. In recent years, she has incorporated ceramics and installation as complementary mediums. The imperfection of the line, color understood as emotion, and objects as symbols charged with invisible narratives are among her main interests.
Josefin Åberg
Textiles
-
Josefin Åberg is a Malmö-based textile artist and designer whose work moves within the intersection of traditional textile craft and technology. Her weavings explores the tactile and the digital simultaneously, drawing attention to the coded structures and algorithmic nature which both weaving and computers have in common. Traditional patterns and techniques are deconstructed and reinterpreted through the lens of glitch art aesthetics and digital expression.

Wonderful local gallery in Málaga! I had the pleasure of meeting Marta, one of the artists, when I stopped by the other day and purchased one of her prints. The space is warm, welcoming, and filled with beautiful work. I also love that it showcases the work of women artists in Málaga and aims to create an accessible community art space, especially at a time when the city has undergone so much gentrification. Definitely a must-visit! :)

Definitely stop by this gallery, it simply feels good! One of my favourite spots in the city, it’s special: warm and alive, intimate and cosy, and filled with passion, good energy, and great taste.
It is run by a team of 3 passionate young women. Ask them about their current activities when you get there, they’re always involved in amazing cultural events, workshops, or projects worth knowing about. I had the chance to meet Marta, a native of Málaga, who is working hard to make all of this possible.
Happy to discover, learn, enjoy, and support! 100% recommend!!
