PARTY "MUSIC WITH ART" (#esteve).mp4

2012-01-10T18:37:00.000Z

LIVE MUSIC by #esteve - Hotel Estela Barcelona, Sitges

2012-01-10T12:12:00.001Z

Presentation in Sitges (Barcelona) by #esteve

SATURDAY JANUARY 21st - 12:00 Noon

He will offer an exclusive performance for Music and Art lovers

Live music always transmits, makes you feel and vibrate. If it is also that kind of music that comes easily and makes us move our feet (below the table), if it catches our ears, sure that music and especially the musician has captivated us.

#esteve really needs no introduction. In fact, he only needs to be listened to realize it's going to captivate us. It's that easy when it comes to our ears to enrich our spirit. Art, in general, and music, in particular, tend to cause this feeling of fullness.

Well, #esteve deploys a repertoire that brings us closer to spiritual fulfillment.

Overall we can say that he moves in a "Chill out" mood from Ibiza, even if we wanted to be more specific we could say that he has an electronic-based soul jazz but, and there is merit, including solo arrangements and instrumentation of many carats. Guitars (electric, acoustic, Fender, Gibson,...), cello, percussion and a mix with some very slight ethnic flavor of his music make delightfull for the spirit.

His performances are vibrant, and his instrumental mastery is admirable. Especially when he lets out that Hendrix he carries inside him, but only with the right distortion so that no ear can be damaged, putting the right lo-fi to give the necessary balance. In short, it would be long to explain, it is best... to come and listen.

We leave a short biography of the artist to those who need to know.

________________________________________

Musician, singer and songwriter. From classical and jazz training, #esteve is a musician with a style "Made in the Balearic Islands". His musical genre can be classified as smooth soul - soul, funk and touches of pop - but also embraces the chill that fuses jazz with the rhythms and colors of the Mediterranean to achieve vibrant, suggestive themes such as "Hungry Heart", "Black Rainbow over and White" and "One World" (Café del Mar 30 Years of Music) or as rich and vital albums as Think, his latest work.

#esteve specializes in bringing his music to events and private parties, and has a large number of followers nationally and internationally. His audience highlights the novelty, originality, vibes transmission and spread of Mediterranean magic in his music.

The foreign public also is surprised by the exoticism in his guitar playing. The search for the Mediterranean, light, sea, islands, as a source of inspiration. Insatiable curiosity, his lyrics are the result of artistic interest and a spirit of protest.

Lyrics that talk about emotions, nature, but also of social engagement, some visionaries of today's reality. He has participated in events for major brands such as Mercedes Benz, Mapfre or DKV, as well as in events such as World Tourism Fair ITB Berlin or the King's Cup Regatta in Palma de Mallorca. Also include participation in workshops that the Government of the Balearic Islands held in different European cities (Zurich, Genoa, Florence, Rome, Edinburgh, Glasgow, San Sebastian, Barcelona, Berlin, etc..) And his stay in San Francisco, where he participated in numerous private parties.

His music is a universal proposition without borders. His live performance is a life experience, smooth and vibrant joyful soul beach house.

Exhibition of Paintings by Francesc Sillue at the Art Hotel, Sitges - December 2011

2011-12-09T17:06:00.000Z

The Hotel Estela Barcelona - Art Hotel provides the first solo exhibition by Francesc Sillue at the Iris Gallery. The opening will take place on Friday, December 23rd at 7:30

We speak of an artist with a wide geographical range. In 1959, Sillue, went to Paris where he began his most bohemian stage, entering in 1961 to join the group called "New Values" formed by the art critic Menendez Virilio, leading him to exhibit in several galleries in France. After several years, he moved to live in Norway and Sweden. Later exhibitions led him to the United States and Britain, where film artists such as Ginger Rogers and John Forsythe acquired several of his works. So Sillue is today a very popular artist in these countries, especially because of his urban creations.

After his return to Catalonia he is installed in Sitges, where is considered as a referential artist in the Mediterranean city, up to the present day.

This is a complete artist who prefers to present his paintings in a figurative background, which at times approaches a smooth hyperrealism, although his technical capacity would allow him to approach other styles. He is, therefore, an artist with great technical ability who, however, avoids the use of complex pictorial resources for considering them easy to "trick" the viewer. So we speak of an artist with enough maturity and decision to be able to define the way that he presents his works.

However, the good observer will perceive that his figuration is based on a constructivist background, checkered, which goes almost unnoticed. This "camouflage" constructivism that form the buildings with its windows and the urban furniture, is the one that lays in most of his artworks and that shows that this is an artist with more than enough arguments to catch the eye of those more demanding.

His common themes are squares and corners of typical European cities, but as anxious observer, also portrays interiors, gardens, cafes, markets and people in them.

This is certainly an honor for Hotel del Arte to present this exhibition.

ARTICLE IN THE NEWSPAPER "DIARI DE VILANOVA" ABOUT PUIGMARTI LIVING ART LIKE A KING - Hotel Estela Barcelona

2011-12-02T10:40:00.001Z

LIVING ART LIKE A KING

The Hotel Estela Barcelona projects an informative space of the work of one of its most illustrious guests, Josep Puigmartí

Page 34

DIARI DE VILANOVA

By Ramon Francàs | Photos: C.C.Flores

The artist Josep Puigmartí who has been creating and living in the Hotel Estela Barcelona from Sitges for 17 years, might have next to this four-star hotel a foundation with a permanent exhibition space. In the center, which would add to the space contemporary art available in the Guingueta d'Ix (Bourg-Madame), will exhibit and disseminate the work of all stages of this eccentric and prolific creator at his 78. The owners of this company known as the Art Hotel, the engineers Antonio Almazor and Francesc Castellví, plan to create the interpretive center of Puigmartí investing around 6 million euros. The initiative is intended to integrate into the local macro-project, with which Sitges projected in the previous municipal stage to become an international reference in the economics of creativity in art. The former mayor of Sitges, Jordi Baijet, says that Hotel Estela Barcelona is one of the Cau Ferrat from the XXIst century, just like the example of the house-museum of modernist Santiago Rusiñol. The former mayor believes that, in Sitges, the work of Puigmartí has gained density and maturity, placing his work among the most interesting components of the generation in the sixties, that decanted Catalan painting into modernity.

Baijet sees Puigmartí as a genius. For these reasons, the former mayor pledged to convince both the Spanish Government and the Sitges Government of the goodness of a project whose main drawback soil is placed in maritime-terrestrial public domain. The space of 4,000 m2 over two floors, claims to be under the current garden area of the hotel. The project is outlined and is expected to start work within a year.

Puigmartí says that he's been working for years on the project and feels fortunate that not many artists can reach this level.

Puigmartí that each day he wakes up at four in the morning to start painting without preconceptions, has converted the Estela Barcelona in his headquarters. These days looking at multiverse paints, the pearls that created the Big Bang, among which he includes humans. In his paintings there are, also, aliens. He says he lives by discovering and not wasting time copying things better than can be painted.

He defines himself as an emotional creator who does not want to think. The halls and walls of the hotel are full of his pictures, sharing the limelight with some 300 pieces by Subirachs, with a Dali sculpture, with works by Antoni Tapies or Modest Urgell or an impressive Meifren valued at €480,000.

No corner without sculptures and canvas. Even 16 of the 64 rooms have been decorated since 1993 by artists such as Antoni Xaus, Joan Iriarte, Ramon Moscardo, Grau Garriga, Subirachs or Puigmartí himself. The hotel clients and collectors can buy works. This has been a successful diversification for a hotel that closed last year with a turnover of 2.5 million euros and he saw the crisis as happened in the convention received fifty in 2009 to only four in 2010.

Of course, they deny that Estela Barcelona is an art gallery, a business that they consider to be from the nineteenth century.

Puigmartí creates his works in the same hotel or in a space of 400 meters in front of the beach of the Aiguadolç Marina, which also is owned by Estela Barcelona, sleeping on the floor next to his paintings. The owners of the hotel ensure that he can have at his disposal, in addition to their meals, the fifty employees of the company. He has 50 drivers and, if necessary, even is accompanied to the doctor, says Francesc Castellví. The hotel's owners acknowledge, in fact, that Puigmartí has an open bar and lives in the Estela Barcelona like a king. They say, however, that art is our added value, we are unique in the world. They add that the Catalan art is really appreciated outside our borders. Josep Puigmartí notes that the important thing is not where you sleep but to sleep well, and that the only difference of living in a hotel is to have the kitchen at your disposal.

An unusual character in the Catalan plastic

Josep Puigmartí was born in Monistrol de Calders in 1932. Already at the age of 11 he held his first exhibition and since then devoted his life entirely to painting and art.

He uses and experiments with all kinds of materials. As stated in his own blog, "his great career recognized around the world, one could say that consists of several steps related to their circumstances: his great loves in different countries, who marked his work, either by a passion or by the destruction these loves caused". He has exhibited in Spain, the USA, Japan, Sweden, Denmark, France, Britain, China, Italy, Switzerland, Monaco, Shanghai ...

Josep Puigmartí, transgressive artist like few others, is a personality a bit unusual in the Catalan plastic of the second half of the twentieth century. In 1956 Puigmartí performed a work that was decanted into a schematic expressionism, giving much value to the background areas and with such thorough job figures that reminds the materic Austrian modernist painting.

In the 60's, driven by easy money and frivolous fun environments, he worked as an advertising model. He goes frequently to the parties organized by Salvador Dali and is carried away by the curiosity of the moment.

He makes his second exhibition in Barcelona and develops a work outside conceptualisms, without seeking symbols, messages and literary developments.

In 1972 Puigmartí is based in Paris and a few months later he presented his first personal exhibition "hymn to woman". Puigmartí until 1989 devoted himself to painting women.

Another tendence affecting the global art was Pop Art, especially the influence of American artists like Warhol and Tom Wesselman. In the late 60's, such acceptance had his lithographs in Japan that led him to make several trips to Tokyo where he worked tirelessly on new original models. His contact with the Silver Cloud Galleries from Pacific Beach, California, led him to move to the U.S.. This year was 1984, and resided in this country until 1989. Asia, Europe, United States ...and then back home next to the Mediterranean.

It is in the Hotel Estela Barcelona from Sitges where Puigmarti had in the 90's the most important change in his life. He gives up his wandering life and it is in the upper loft of the hotel where his studio is initially installed in 1995. The formal change takes shape in two facts: those cold and perfect lined dummies-women disappear and the line acquires the radical leadership that never had in Puigmarti's works.

The human eye had always been his great landscape. The philosophy of the eye, part memory, part observation, is his constant practice. To watch and being watched: this has been his obsession. In the 90's he developed the three-dimensional creations, sculptures or objects, called "things" by the artist. These things follow the Dadaist tradition, as well as the tradition of pop art in which objects are constructed from other objects, changing their meaning. Performs automatic acts in the selection of the items found. Now the fact that seduces him is to be devoted to his works and to be dedicated to a feverish creative activity.

The Sitges hotel he was staying in, was about to record 15 hours about this universal artist.

Sitges

Josep Grau-Garriga spent his last holidays, a couple of weeks last August, with his wife Anne and two daughters at the hotel in Sitges where he spent his summer vacation these recent years.

In concluding he said to the owners of this four-star hotel, engineers and Francesc Antonio Almazor Castellví that the vacation had been, without doubt, the best in its 82 years. Walking by the sea and draw and paint were two of his main occupations during their days off summer, and receive and share with friends and family dinners. His wife and daughters of 18 and 14 years preferred the hotel pool. A few days later, on August 29, perish in Angers, the ancient capital of Anjou.

In the same hotel, Estela Barcelona's Port d'Aiguadolç, and in 1999 was decorated with murals and tapestries one of their suites, the 212, the address of the hotel offers 200 euros per night. From the same room, about 35 meters square, watching the sea and could see some of the many books and catalogs that have dedicated and continue in the cabinet of the TV.

The centerpiece of the room displays by Antonio Almazor, one of the main concerns of the artist during the last years of his life: "The fear of not being able to watch her last two daughters, from his last marriage." This mural is representing himself and embraced by his young old naked woman with her two daughters.

About thirty Grau-Garriga works hang on the walls of the self- Hotel del Arte. In fact, there is no corner without any sculptures, tapestries, murals, engravings and paintings, including the rooms and incvluso the services of this hotel. Stand about 300 pieces of Josep Maria Subirachs, but also a Dali sculpture, works of Antoni Tapies or Modest Urgell and an impressive Meifrén worth some 480,000 euros.

Even 16 of the 64 rooms have been decorated since 1993 by artists such as Antoni Xaus, Joan Iriarte, Ramon Moscardo, Subirachs, Josep Puigmartí and Grau-Garriga own.

The hotel's clientele and collectors can purchase works of art, which has been a clear diversification for a hotel that closed last year with a turnover of EUR 2.5 million and saw, with the crisis, how it went from conventions fifty received in 2009 to just four in 2010. Of course, deny that Estela Barcelona is an art gallery, a business they consider "proper to the nineteenth century".

The hotel management took the last stay at the Estela Barcelona Grau-Garriga for ordering the shooting of the Barcelona production Maisler Group, Martin Maisler, up to 15 hours of interviews with the artist born in Sant Cugat del Vallès in February 1929, family members and people who knew him as a leading art critics.

This material will serve to be part of programs to promote Catalan artistic heritage may be issued on Channel 33 and La 2 of TVE, presented by journalist Margarita Puig La Vanguardia. They are also negotiating television broadcast French and even Russian.

Grau-Garriga or chapters micro star showing his entire career and most intimate impressions. Maisler Martin recalls that "while he would not stop talking makeup. With a calm voice, he told us his views on the importance of light in a Catalan French stained which gave it a mystique". Maisler adds that "it could evoke Josep Grau-Garriga committed without highlighting the dimension of his work, political commitment, ethical and aesthetic". The artist said he was only interested in people at risk and "risk questioning was for him constantly, invent their way". He also notes that Grau-Garriga for beauty alone does not mean anything.

Highlights Almazor Antonio Grau-Garriga Catalan and his dismay and regret for being "kidnapped" in the French town of Saint-Mathurin-sur-Loire, where he lived.

Despite this, the engineer and says Almazor hotel in France was more valued than in their own country despite being one of the great innovators of contemporary tapestry works have the best museums in the world.

The Hotel Estela Barcelona is also projected to invest around six million euros to create an interpretive center on site with the work of another of its most illustrious residents, Josep Puigmartí .

In the center, which would add to the contemporary art space available in the Guingueta d'Ix (Bourg-Madame), expose and disseminate the work of all stages of this eccentric creator born in 1932 in Monistrol de Calders and already has more than 17 years living "like a king" at the expense of the hotel, where he continues creating prolifically.

Puigmartí that each day he rises at 4 am to start painting "without preconceptions," creates these days looking at the "multiverse" the "pearls" that caused the big bang the big bang, among which includes the people. En sus lienzos tampoco faltan aliens. In his paintings there is no shortage aliens.

He says she lives to "discover" and rejects "wasting time copying things in nature that can not be better." It is defined as a creator "emotional" when he does not care to think.

Those were boom times of great cultural and intense preparation for this magnanimous event. Already entered in the twentieth century, specifically in 1916, in one of his visits to Barcelona, King Alfonso XIII granted the title of Royal to the Artistic Circle.

From its beginnings to our dates, the main objective of this historic institution has been the promotion of the Fine Arts.

Today the organization is presented with a commendable stability and a firm plan for the future in prevailing its roots to promote, encourage and support events and activities related to the world of art and culture in all its disciplines, in addition to spread it internationally.

This time there will be 17 outstanding contemporary artists chosen to decorate the rooms of the Bolivarian Museum of Contemporary Art: Josep Puigmartí, Jordi Andreu Fresquet, Emilia Castaneda, Cruañas Josep Benet Sarsanedas, Rafael Griera, Domingo Benito and Jordi Rollán as illustrious representatives Merit partners of the institution.

Companies interested in moving this emerging citizen space as the core generator of large-scale business, social and cultural rights. This will be done by creating a space/brand in Barcelona fully identified with companies, institutions and citizens' associations located around the Forum, taking into account values/concepts of social responsibility, cultural and environmental issues, and that both generate a flow of customers, visitors and participants tailored to each business sector of this area.

EXHIBITION OF PAINTINGS BY RAMON AGUILAR MORE IN SITGES - October 2011

2011-09-27T16:57:00.001+01:00

The Hotel Estela Barcelona - Art Hotel in Sitges, presents the exhibition of paintings by Ramón Aguilar Moré. The opening will take place on Friday October 7th at 8:00 pm and will last until the end of November 2011.

As usual, after the vernissage, we will share dinner with the artist and enjoy the Show menu that our chef Jaume Rius has prepared.

AGUILAR MORÉ (Barcelona, 1924)

He learned in the studio of Oleguer Junyent, where he worked between 1945 and 1948. He exhibited in a collective exhibition for the first time in 1949 at the Sala Rovira in Barcelona. Two years later, in 1951, he held his first personal exhibition.

He develops a decorative expressionism, with strong arabesque and bright colours. In the beginning, he made many notes and sketches related to the dance, the music hall, jazz, ballet and music in general. Figures of teenagers, as well as landscapes of great emotional intensity have been issues to which he has devoted much attention.

Using a rich palette in shades of cool, which he contrasts with the complementary tones, has served him to emphasize and make a live colour paint.

He also presented his works at the Sala Gaspar (Barcelona), Sala Grifé & Escoda (Barcelona), Garbí Gallery (Valencia), Agora 3 Gallery (Sitges), Sala Nonell (Barcelona), Galería Alcolea (Madrid) and Sala Rusiñol (Sant Cugat del Vallès). He has exhibited in cities around the world, like Bilbao, Cadaqués, Philadelphia, Geneva, London, Madrid, New York, Paris, Santander, Ulm, Denver or Bergamo, among others.

Aguilar More has obtained numerous awards and honours, including the Gold Medal of the City of Palma de Mallorca, Premi Sant Jordi of Barcelona Provincial Council, Miguel Carbonell Award for Painting, Painting Prize II of the "Juegos del Meditarraneo".

His artworks appears in the Madrid Museum of Contemporary Art, Museum of Cadaqués (Girona), Diputación Provincial de Barcelona, Reina Sofia Museum in Athens (Greece), Perrot-Moore Museum (Cadaqués), Museum of Barcelona (Barcelona) and the Municipal Gallery "Francesc Galí Legacy" (Palamos).
