Inspired by the subtlety of nature, this exhibition envelops us in the silent dance of its waters, where life throbs in light and shadow.
“We dive into the Mediterranean, a space of organic forms and eternal movement that guides us in our creation. We have taken as a reference the Padina seaweed, whose undulations reflect femininity and grace, unfolding in perfect harmony with the marine environment. Its delicate forms, the light it needs to survive and the places it inhabits, evoke a natural dance that we wanted to transfer to this experience.”
This will be the artists’ fourth solo exhibition with ART U READY in Madrid. This exhibition is a tribute to the balance between nature, movement and beauty. An ode to femininity and the connection between the natural and the artistic.

ELIURPI’s art stands out for this search through craftsmanship and design, for another way to create with honesty and to provide “spaces” of beauty.
Regarding the location where the exhibition will be held, it will be private and secret and can be visited under registration and by appointment, with limited capacity. It will be in a central and exclusive space of The Sibarist portfolio, which will only be revealed to those who register.
In this way it will be possible to get to know both the work and the artists, who will accompany us throughout the week, in an intimate and very personal way.
Elisabet Urpí and Nacho Umpiérrez are an artistic duo who work and share a way of life, both professionally and personally. Under the name ELIURPI they started in 2010 creating unique pieces in the form of objects and hats.
They are multidisciplinary artists, with a very defined aesthetic and coherent with their values. In 2020 their sculptural works began to be acquired by international fashion and art collectors. This opened a new paradigm and look into the future.
