>> ADEMA has also been present at SUMMA Mallorca >> Both proposals have reinforced the institution’s commitment to the professional projection of young creators with the promotion of the Master in Professional Development in the Art Sector.
ADEMA Bellas Artes has been present at Art Cologne Palma and SUMMA Mallorca with a representation that articulates experience and emerging art, from a perspective committed to contemporary creation, critical thinking, research and the projection of new artistic languages.
The exhibitions have sparked considerable interest among the Balearic authorities and the large audience members who wanted to learn about the work of the artists and researchers at ADEMA.
Within this context, an institutional commitment is being made to facilitate the integration of young creators into the professional circuit, in line with the launch of the Master’s Degree in Professional Development in the Arts Sector, whose first edition will begin next September. This consolidates a training model focused on excellence, research, and international reach.
Art Cologne Palma, held from April 9th to 12th, brought together galleries, collectors, curators, and industry professionals in a context that reinforces the island’s position within the European art circuit and its capacity to host initiatives of global scope. Within this framework, ADEMA presented a proposal that combines research, artistic practice, and professional development, establishing a dialogue between different generations of research-oriented artists.
>> The ADEMA University School will combine established research artists and emerging talent such as Amparo Sard and Tomàs Pizà, Óscar González, Rebeca Morey, Aina Parpal, Doris Obermayr, Laura Bibiloni, Margalina Serra, Martina Pinosa and Paula Cheillada.
The institution was represented at Art Cologne Palma by professors and researchers Amparo Sard and Tomàs Pizà, along with emerging artist-researchers Rebeca Morey and Óscar González, whose projects were selected from their final degree projects. This selection demonstrates the quality of the artistic production developed at the center and its capacity to be projected in high-level professional contexts.
The works configure a field of tension between the stable and the unstable, proposing a reading of the present as a space in constant transformation, traversed by processes of change, adaptation and revision.
Rebeca Morey’s work focuses on an investigation of corporeality and matter from a contemporary perspective. Her piece “Embodied Cavity” (2026) places ceramics in an expanded territory, where the material ceases to function as a support and becomes an active body, marked by pressure, imprints, and physical memory. Its forms, poised between the organic and the unsettling, generate a direct relationship with the viewer, activating both the sensory and the emotional.
For his part, Óscar González develops an investigation around repetition, balance, and formal openness. His work “Lace” (2025), made of pigmented cement, is constructed from the reiteration of a module that generates a vertical structure where form remains in a state of possibility. The absence of mechanical anchoring keeps the work in a precarious balance, sustained by gravity and friction, while the repetition produces variations that prevent uniformity. Added to this line of work is the series “Organic Models” (2025), where ceramics introduce a temporal and material dimension that transforms the digital origin of the forms, incorporating processes of firing, variation, and permanence.
In the case of Tomàs Pizà, his work “Unyevunyevu” demonstrates a shift towards more open and experimental processes. Following his time on Wasini Island in Kenya, his practice incorporates elements related to water, such as humidity, evaporation, and dissolution, which become an active part of his pictorial language. This shift results in compositions where structure loses rigidity in favor of more unstable surfaces, where the image emerges from the diffuse and the unfinished, placing the process at the heart of the work.
The presence of Amparo Sard completes the exhibition, bringing with her a well-established international career. Her work, focused on perforated paper and the expansion of the image, presents a sustained investigation into fragility, perception, and the limits of representation, contributing a dimension of maturity and continuity to the whole.
Taken as a whole, the proposal underscores one of the central issues in contemporary art: the reconsideration of materials not only as supports, but as active agents whose action and transformation directly influence the construction of meaning. In a context marked by uncertainty and the constant revision of knowledge systems, matter emerges as a field of research capable of generating new forms of experience and thought.
In parallel, ADEMA has expanded its presence by participating in SUMMA Mallorca, which held its second edition from April 9th to 12th at the Pueblo Español. In this context, a group of fourth-year students presented their projects in an environment focused on exchange, visibility, and professional experience.
The artists participating in SUMMA Mallorca are Aina Parpal, who presents the work “𝑁𝑎 𝐶𝑙𝑎𝑟𝑎 𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑎𝑛𝑡 𝑠𝑎 𝑏𝑎𝑟𝑐𝑎” (2026), an acrylic on canvas; Doris Obermayr, with “Caminos difusos” (2025), made of plastic, paper and acrylic; Laura Bibiloni, with the sculpture “Cúmulo” (2025) in polyurethane foam; Margalida Serra, who presents “Fer estada” (2025), a sculptural triptych in ceramic; Martina Pinosa, with the photographic installation “Cercati” (2025); and Paula Cheillada, with the photographic triptych “A cuestas” (2025).
ADEMA’s dual presence acquires strategic value by articulating, in two complementary contexts, the same axis of work based on the connection between experience, research and emerging art.
With this participation, the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the ADEMA University School reaffirms its position as an active institution in the production and dissemination of contemporary art, capable of generating real platforms of visibility for its students and of integrating into international dynamics from the local context.
