Paper València 2023 Fair

From May 25th to 28th, the III Salón de Arte y Poesía Paper València will be held in which we present the series of drawings-collage Pedres filosofals (Philosophers’ Stones), by Isabel Banal i Xifré, together with Estrany-de la Mota Art Advisors. This cultural event that takes place at the headquarters of RuzafaStudio is focused on the exclusive use of paper as a support for works of art, artistic editions and poetry.

Pedres filosofals, by Isabel Banal i Xifré, puts in relation and on paper the figure of a naked female body with a real stone. The woman dialogues with the stone through different gestures: she carries it, holds it in her hand, contemplates it… A work whose title refers to the alchemist tradition, where the research of this element was the milestone, with a sapiential and healing component.
