About this Event
🎨 Vernissage: The Garden – Nis Namdar, curated by Artpiq With Art Cologne returning to Mallorca, Palma steps into a new contemporary art moment with The Garden – a solo exhibition by Nis Namdar , presented by Artpiq in collaboration with Mirror. Marking the launch of a two-month exhibition, this intimate vernissage introduces a new body of work exploring the relationship between animal, human, and nature – inviting a slower, more attentive way of seeing. Through a series of striking paintings, Namdar creates quiet yet powerful encounters with the natural world, where animals become subjects of dignity, presence, and reflection. The works invite viewers to pause, observe, and reconsider our place within a shared ecosystem. This opening is designed as a limited and more private gathering , setting the tone for an exhibition that unfolds over the following weeks in Palma’s old town. 🗓 Exhibition Dates April 5 – June 5, 2026 (please email katharina@artpiq.net to make an appointment) 📍 Location: Mirror, Carrer del Pau 10B, Palma 🌿 About the Exhibition At its core, The Garden reflects on connection, coexistence, and what it means to be human . Namdar’s paintings – intimate animal portraits – explore the boundaries between species, encouraging a deeper awareness of the living world around us. Rather than dominating nature, the works propose a shift in perspective: one rooted in respect, curiosity, and interdependence . Each piece becomes both a portrait and a question – what can we learn from nature, and how closely are we connected to it? ✨ About Katharina Wenzel & Artpiq Behind the exhibition is Katharina Wenzel , founder of Artpiq , a platform dedicated to contemporary art and emerging international artists, based across Europe.
