Guest Artist : Robert Ferrer I Martorell
The 2025 edition of MARTE shines a spotlight on Robert Ferrer I Martorell (born in Picassent, 1978), one of Spain’s leading figures in contemporary geometric abstraction. Represented by the Pep Llabrés gallery from Mallorca, Ferrer I Martorell enjoys international recognition.
A key moment in his career was his selection by the Cervantes Institute in Paris in 2016 for the installation Porta oberta a l’invisible, marking a major milestone in his global outreach.
Free Entry and Open to All
In line with its inclusive spirit, entry to MARTE and all parallel activities is completely free. This makes the fair a welcoming space for art lovers, curious visitors, students, and established professionals alike.
Despite increasing demand, the organizers have chosen to limit participation to 20 galleries—a decision that ensures quality over quantity and greater attention to each project.
