Madrid, Madrid, Madrid…

Madrid, one of Europe’s most vibrant capitals, is a perfect fusion of tradition and modernity. With a past rich in history, art and culture, this city has adapted to the times and embraced innovation. Today, Madrid is a 21st century metropolis, where its nightlife, modern dining venues and post-modern cultural spaces invite you to discover, experience and embark on a vital journey.

Based on this premise, AVANI Alonso Martínez stands as a tribute to the city of Madrid, its culture and its identity. The art that adorns the walls of the hotel, the interior design and the very image of the place evoke the essence of a unique and vibrant Madrid: a city of contrasts in constant change and evolution.

I was privileged to be commissioned by NH Hotel Group to create several series of artworks and murals for this project. It was an opportunity that filled me with excitement, as Madrid is my hometown, the place where I grew up and lived most of my life.

EXPOSICIONES DE ARTE DEL FUTURO

For the corridors of the 7 floors of the hotel, the concept revolves around one of the cultural axes of the city of Madrid: art.
Madrid is one of the great international capitals of art: it is home to some of the most important museums in the world and treasures works by some of the most important artists of all time.
Based on this premise, I have designed a series of posters announcing exhibitions in an imaginary future. A selected group of 16 of the most relevant Spanish artists of the last decades are the basis for this collection of posters announcing fictitious exhibitions that would take place in the coming years and decades (1930s and 1940s of this century).
This exercise in “fantastic reality” establishes an exotic link with the city of Madrid through art and fantasy, and fills the corridors of the hotel with magic.

I have created seven versions for each of the sixteen selected artists. Seven versions in seven languages (English, French, Swedish, Chinese, Japanese, Greek and Spanish), each language associated with one of the seven floors of the hotel.
