Maria Catalán

Maria Catalán (born 1961 in Castellón de la Plana) is a spanish artist who lives and workes in Ibiza since 1981. She studied at the Escuela de Arte in Ibiza between 1984 and 1988 and subsequently continued her artistic development in the studio Eduard Micus, where she worked for more than a decade.

Catalán´s practice is rooted in painting and characterized by a quiet, contemplative approach to form, colour, and composition. Her works often balance abstraction and representation, drawing inspiration from the landscape, light, and atmosphere of Ibiza. Through a reduced visual language, she explores subtle spatial relationships and the emotional resonance of colour, creating images that invite sustained observation.

Over the course of her career, Catalán has exhibited in Spain, Germany, France, and other European countries. Her work reflects a continuous engagement with perception, memory, and the transformative qualities of light, establishing a distinctive position within the contemporary art scene of Ibiza.
