"Miró-Sert-Gomis. The light in the artist’s studio" is an exhibition proposal which explains, transmits and experiments with the importance of light in the workshop of Miró in Mallorca and at the Maeght Fundation.
The purpose is to portray one of the key elements of the atelier and connector between the painter, the architect and the photographer: the light. The objective is a dialogue between plastic art, architecture and audio-visual pieces reflected in a mythical and magic space.

The plastic artist Bea Sarrias and the filmmaker Morrosko Vila-San-Juan, give shape to the project by using photographs that Joaquim Gomis shot in 1961 at Miro’s Art Studio in Mallorca shortly after it was inaugurated. Miro’s Art Studio was designed and built by his architect friend J.L Sert.
Against the background of the Mediterranean light, sound and mild weather, the meticulously cinematographic series of photographs by Gomis, combined with video shot in the studio of his architect Sert, create the ideal setting for creativity.
Bea Sarrias and Morrosko Vila-San-Juan propose the creation of a series of drawings, sketches and audio-visual pieces that will enable the possibility to recreate and take us back to the workshop surrounded by its extraordinary conditions of light, climate, sound and vegetation. A landscape that clearly identifies the work of Miró and the construction of Sert, mastered through photography by Gomis during his many visits.
The project also provides an immersive experience thanks to the projection of a number of videos shot in the studio of Bea Sarrias. All of a sudden, her studio appears as immersed by the Mediterranean Sea, lit by the summer sun that also falls into the Sert’s studio and inundated by the sound of the cicadas, the wind and the impression of the brush on the canvas.
