Art from Argentina has been amazing visitors
to the cute art gallery of “Can Tixedó”,
in Forada - or “Buscastell”, as this splendid and
genuine area near Sant Antoni is known by the locals.
Juan Colomar, the young businessman and
gallery director, has presented a new exhibition, very refreshing,
with a lot of movement and colour, happy and pleasant to see,
full of novelty, talent and artistic creativity.
The exhibition was the latest collection
of sculptures and paintings done by the Argentinean artist
and art-professor Pablo Garcia Albizuri.
Pablo Garcia Albizuri was born in Buenos
Aires, Argentina in 1961.
Since he was very young, Pablo felt the
call of the arts and soon he discovered his own capability
and creative potential. He says it was relatively easy for
him because he always had the support and the encouragement
of his family to develop and continue with his studies of
Fine Arts. Later, he studied Architecture and Urbanism in
the University of Buenos Aires for over eight years, completing
his high studies with courses of Modern Dance and Social Psychology.
After finishing his university studies,
Pablo worked for several years in different artistic and professional
projects in Buenos Aires, but his hunger for opening new ways
and adventure took him to work for almost two years as a history
professor in a remote school on the Argentinean border.
But the call of the Art was too strong.
This, together with the dull and grey future that a young
talented man can see and feel in such chaotic societies, with
enormous economical and social problems, where the everyday
material living takes most of the energy, with no time or
interest for the Arts, as most of the South-American societies
are at present, in which a sensitive artist seems to be completely
out of place, and living by selling his art-works is a real
“Mission Impossible”.
Those were the two reasons, the discovering
and the study of the roots of the Fine Arts, and the look
for a brighter future, where he could find a public to show
and buy his creative works, so he could live off his Art,
that helped Pablo to take the decision to leave his family
and his country and travel to Europe.
So, in 1990, Pablo arrived in Firenze, Italy,
where he lived for a time, visiting the museums and studying
the classic master-painters.
Then, in 1991, after visiting Switzerland
and France, Pablo finally landed on Eivissa.
His arrival on the Island was a revelation
to him. He was enchanted, hypnotised and trapped by the clear
bright light and its beauty from the very beginning.
Then, when he stepped down by the narrow
streets of Eivissa’s harbour, with its cosmopolitan and
colourful crowds, people from all races and religions living
together with deep respect, peace and enjoyable, creative
harmony, he knew that his trip had ended. He was determined
to make this Island his new homeland and took the challenge
of starting a new life, living off his Art and forming part
of this tolerant and creative society.
Pablo has been living here since then, living
off his art-works, sharing his time with his other job as
art-professor. He loves working with adults and young children
in summer courses organised by Sant Antoni’s Town Hall,
where his works are shown in popular exhibitions.
“I feel really good living in Eivissa,
especially when the summer is over and the people are more
relaxed. Now, I feel invaded as an inhabitant of the Island.
July and August is like a necessary and inevitable punishment,
but we have to learn to live with it. It is better to think
that soon it will be over and look ahead for the relaxing
winter”, Pablo confessed to a local journalist in an
interview given to celebrate his new exhibition in “Can
Pou”, Eivissa, earlier this summer.
Pablo is an artist, painter and sculptor,
also an art-professor, who is opening his own way through
hard and very valuable work. He is gaining his own space and
respect in our difficult world of the Arts with his creative
Art-works that are being more and more appreciated by art-lovers
and appreciated by the Art Galleries.
These works allowed Pablo to remain on Eivissa,
where he already feels like one of us, living in a local finca
in the country, growing part of their own fruits and greens
(Pablo lives as an ecologist and a vegetarian) with his lovely
wife and a charming young son. Pablo appreciates especially
the tranquillity and also feels very discreet about his private
life.
Let’s hope that they all will stay,
living and working successfully with us for many years.
