Ainhoa Escalada is a 21-year-old fashion designer and multidisciplinary artist from Navarre, whose practice is developed from her workshop in Burlada under her brand Guillotina. Her creative identity is defined by a maximalist and sustainable style that challenges conventional trends, integrating historical Victorian and Gothic references with vibrant experimentation in colors and prints.

Her talent has recently been recognized nationally with a nomination for the Max Awards for Performing Arts in the Best Costume Design category for the play Torcidxs. Escalada understands fashion as a profound narrative language, capable of addressing identity and memory through the body. In her work, she seeks to democratize fashion "with consciousness and history," moving away from the ephemeral to create pieces with a strong symbolic and artistic charge.

Flowers, flesh

Silvia Ayerra Muruzabal (San Martín de Unx, 1985)

Photographer, plastic artist, and facilitator specializing in Visual Pedagogy and Therapeutic Image, whose work focuses on designing social intervention processes through participatory photography. Her career is notable for working with vulnerable groups, focusing especially on the recovery of women's historical memory, supporting young migrants, and assisting people with disabilities, as seen in her project Diente de leche (Milk Tooth), alongside her uncle José Antonio Muruzabal, or in her work with the APNABI Association with people on the autism spectrum.

Throughout her career, she has promoted high-impact initiatives such as the "Laboratorio de Imagen_ Hackeo a la Historia del Arte" (Image Lab_ Hacking Art History), where she analyzes dissident identities, and the "Hijas del Barrio" (Daughters of the Neighborhood) project in Bilbao, which rescues local and family archives. Her work has a strong presence in public spaces through street photographic interventions and has been recognized at forums such as the Baffest Festival or the Invisible Film Festival. With a solid network of collaborations that includes the "la Caixa" Foundation and various Basque and Navarrese institutions, she continues to transform personal archives and family albums into artistic installations that narrate the history of communities in towns such as Blanca (Murcia) or various villages in Navarre, with the Voces y Miradas (Voices and Glances) project.

Unconscious fragments

New art is the idea of an imaginary artist born from experimentation and the recycling of leftover materials to create material-based artistic processes. Inspired by the film and music production and creation processes of the second half of the 20th century, it conceives of painting as an energetic and vibrational window onto new paths within art. Formally, it operates from a place of unconsciousness.

This exhibition presents a collection of paintings and sculptures composed entirely of remnants of materials used in the assembly, packaging, and creation of art pieces and projects. The project breathes new artistic life into discarded materials and reinterprets them through a fresh perspective. The works dignify forgotten, abandoned, and incomplete materials, sublimating imperfection.

They look

A woman's gaze is a universe of strength and determination. Her eyes reflect the wisdom of experience, the passion of struggle, and the resilience of survival. Her empowered face is a testament to her strength and her ability to overcome obstacles. It is a reminder that true beauty lies in confidence and authenticity. A woman is a being of power, capable of transforming her surroundings into history. Her gaze is a call to action, a reminder that together we can achieve great things.

Projects such as “Women Moments” and “Art and Recycling” demonstrate her commitment to social reflection.

Trail of Gazes

It's a collection of small prints scattered like fragments in a pop-up market. There's no order, no single story—just images waiting for your eyes, your hands, your memory. You're invited to choose, to move, and to create connections. Each photograph bears a trace: of a place, a time, a gaze. Meaning doesn't arrive ready-made; it emerges when you pick up a photograph and pause, when something in it resonates with you.

The exhibition invites a journey between sight, memory and photographs where each image awakens a possible memory, in a space for wandering where vision becomes gesture and stories are formed in the silence between the images.

Pamplona, 1983. Graduated in Fine Arts in Barcelona, she presents at Maisonnave her most relevant work, which deals with the work of Velazquez, Las Meninas, from an irreverent and very personal point of view. The main theme is the Infanta Margarita in all the versions that I can think of, making from the most friendly and colorful paintings to the irreverent and politically incorrect ones.

Graduated in Fine Arts from the University of the Basque Country and with an intense and experimental career in the world of traditional art, Naroa's artistic work is created from a relentless search for a transcendental understanding of the balance of life. This search is reflected in her work both individually, with each painting, and as a group, with the exhibition as a whole.

In this search for balance, he constantly plays with polarized elements such as movement and stillness, visual noise and silence, the abrupt and the subtle, asymmetry, depth and lightness, seriousness and a sense of humor, the spiritual and the mundane.

Self-taught artist who seeks to maintain anonymity. We present a very interesting project, since we have been following this artist for some time, who portrays figures from the world of art and culture in Navarre, some of them known from the new art cycle, such as Gorka Beunza or Ana Holmes. He portrays Navarrese bands like Melenas, Chill Mafia or alternative culture characters like Ben Yart. His expressionist style focuses his gaze on portraits that he solves with a genuine and very personal technique.

10/20/2023 — 01/14/2024

Exhibition of the Navarrese artist Ana S. Holmes. We present a selection of works by this artist with whom we have already collaborated throughout this year and who we believe is one of the most relevant talents on the young Navarrese artistic scene.

Pamplona 1996, is a multidisciplinary artist who focuses her work on the study of different aesthetics and works with current or past realities. Not satisfied with the dynamics of competitiveness and academic formalisms, he decides to explore the artistic world outside the classroom independently and self-taught. His colorful, naive and neo-punk style offers a raw and unfiltered vision of the reality that surrounds today's youth.

Dream Master. 02/03/2023 - 04/12/2023

Vocational artist and, as such, devoted, Luis Morea Guinda (1962) turns everything into art: his eagerness to explore and experiment, his doubts, questions and vital searches. That, together with the technique that he has forged in a self-taught way over the years, and a sensitivity, a spirituality – “as a science, more than as a religion”, he says – and an intuition that he cultivates through what is his trade. and his passion make him a creator with a personal stamp.

Luis Morea presents 7 abstract paintings in a series that he has worked on for years and that is presented in an unprecedented way at the Hotel Maisonnave, where he has also exhibited 5 graphic works and 2 stone sculptures.

The figurative painter from Navarre, Juanjo Lazcano, presents an extensive set of watercolors on paper and four oil paintings on canvas, with an impressive reflective and critical sense, combined with a singular handling of humor. In the words of the artist, this exhibition "approaches the digital world in a critical way, not so much to denounce or with the pretense of having the absolute truth, but more as a spark, a small short circuit to make a call to attention against the overexposure of the life glued to a screen... to digital exhibitionism.

In the Artists' Studios. 10/06/2022 — 01/12/2023

The Navarrese creator Marijose Recalde defines herself as a multidisciplinary artist in ancient trades: painting, sculpture and wood engraving.

His works are characterized by the use of unconventional materials, which he likes to rescue in order to prolong their life, experiment with their possibilities and play with them in a new way.

Marijose Recalde presents in this exhibition nine oil drawings on paper previously stamped either with ink or gouache. They are works from this same year and portray artists in their studios. The artist has wanted to return to painting and recover a focus developed in different periods. In the nineties he tried to learn from Monet or Chagall while painting them. In 2000 he portrayed fellow professionals alongside the classics. Some twenty years later he took up the subject again, doing it according to his techniques using a great variety of them.
