CURRENT EXHIBITION
10 YEARS. 10 ARTISTS. 10 STORIES.
September 2026 - October 2026
Alejandra Glez places the female body at the center of a visual investigation where identity, memory, territory, and water become inseparable. In her photographs and performative actions, the body enters the ocean not as a backdrop, but as a force that transforms it—floating, disappearing, emerging, and dissolving its own limits.
Through works such as Danzando con el mar, Oyalokun, and Agua, Glez explores water as origin, refuge, threat, and memory. In the context of 10 Years. 10 Artists. 10 Stories, her work reveals what lies beneath the surface: the fragile boundary between body, nature, ancestry, and the contemporary world.

EVENTS
ENEAS
June 2025
Madrid, Spain
ENEAS was a one-night collective exhibition curated by Saisho in collaboration with Eneaverso.
Held in Madrid, it brought together 21 contemporary artists and over 600 guests—including collectors, curators, and critics—in a multisensory journey through eight levels of artistic experimentation: from composition and material to light, texture, and technique. Inspired by the myth of Aeneas and structured around curatorial criteria rather than trends, ENEAS marked a new approach to experiencing and valuing contemporary art.

INTERIOR LANDSCAPES
September 2023 - February 2024
In this homage to Matisse, Ikella Alonso shifts from the aerial logic of the map to a vertical composition—transforming the plan into an elevation. Drawing from satellite views of Le Cateau-Cambrésis, Matisse’s birthplace, Alonso evokes not just geography but memory, conjuring fractured reflections that recall windows opening toward the sea. These works suggest a poetic reawakening of painting: from blueprint to vision, from distance to intimacy.
