José María Sicilia Presents Exhibition at Palacio de Liria in Madrid
Spanish artist José María Sicilia has been invited by the Fundación Casa de Alba to create an intervention at Madrid's Palacio de Liria. The exhibition, titled 'Noches y días,' features new site-specific installations alongside earlier works, exploring themes of light, vibration, and memory. Sicilia, a recipient of Spain's National Prize for Plastic Arts and Gold Medal for Fine Arts, describes his approach as visual translation rather than painting. The show activates dialogues between the historical venue, the artist's biography, and viewer experience. Sicilia's work is held in major collections including the Guggenheim and MoMA in New York, and Madrid's Reina Sofía.
