Ibiza plays host to an extraordinary artistic milestone this week as Eduardo Chillida Belzunce, son of the late, great Spanish icon Eduardo Chillida, unveils his first solo exhibition on the island.&nbsp;

Set within the enchanting, multidisciplinary <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/ibiza/estudio-laterna-art-gallery-ibiza-from-chaos-comes-order" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Estudio Laterna</a> space in Santa Gertrudis, &ldquo;Desde los Or&iacute;genes&rdquo; promises to be an evocative journey through the soul of an artist whose work resonates deeply with both history and innovation and whose art represents a profound exploration of strength, vitality, passion and resilience. Curated by the studio&rsquo;s visionary creative director, Andrea S&aacute;nchez, alongside the thoughtful eye of Susana &Aacute;lvarez San Mart&iacute;n, the exhibition offers an intimate exploration of Chillida Belzunce&rsquo;s evolving artistry.
 For the first time, <a href="https://eduardochillidabelzunce.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chillida Belzunce</a> reveals his abstract works from the "Or&iacute;genes" series, signalling a profound turning point in his creative path. This unveiling is complemented by his celebrated figurative pieces and iconic sculptures, creating a harmonious conversation between form, space, and meaning. Inside the gallery, visitors will encounter his captivating representations of interior architectural spaces&mdash;works that transcend mere depictions of rooms to evoke a profound sense of life, light, and shadow. Each piece is a meditation on the intersection of architecture and the human spirit, drawing viewers into a contemplative dance between presence and absence.

In the surrounding experimental garden of <a href="https://www.estudio-laterna.com/es/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Estudio Laterna</a>, Chillida Belzunce&rsquo;s famed bronze sculptures of hands and embraces will be nestled within nature&rsquo;s own embrace. These sculptures, timeless symbols of intimacy and human connection, create a sensory dialogue between art and environment, inviting guests to experience the profound simplicity of touch and togetherness. His hands, monumental in their stillness, form a bridge between self and other, embodying a universal gesture of unity and emotional resonance.

Born into a family of artistic giants, Eduardo Chillida Belzunce has walked his own path, marked by moments of silence and renewal. A life-altering motorcycle accident in 1984 left him in a coma for two months, casting a long shadow over his creative pursuits. For over two decades, sculpture fell silent, and painting became his refuge. It wasn&rsquo;t until the early 2000s, after years of introspection and recovery, that he returned to sculpture with a renewed sense of purpose and profound sensitivity.
&ldquo;Desde los Or&iacute;genes&rdquo; is more than an exhibition; it is a testament to an artist&rsquo;s journey through life&rsquo;s deepest transformations, where the past and the present, the intimate and the universal, converge in a breathtaking celebration of form, space and soul.
