In Spain, living is a joyful art. The combination of glorious weather, history, culture and work-life balance means the Mediterranean country consistently tops the Quality of Life Index. Certain pockets embody all the best parts of the Spanish lifestyle, and Palma is one of them.
Drenched in atmosphere and heritage, Mallorca’s photogenic capital is a melting pot of nationalities, and a hotbed of creative projects. In the heart of the Old Town, Gallery RED is a social hub of the Balearic art world; constantly evolving to nurture and showcase inspiring artists.
Notable names
One special home is an amalgamation of all those elements that make residing in Palma so desirable. This three-bedroom duplex fuses authentic charm, spectacular views and the richness of an art gallery for a truly elevated living experience.
Partnering with Bacco Properties, Gallery RED curated an extraordinary collection of contemporary art to grace the property’s interiors: thread painting work by Toni Garau pays homage to Sóller’s textile industry; striking abstract expressionism by Viani; Noemi Carpu’s calm, sensory works, created with natural materials and surrealist fashion photography by Andrea Torres, amongst others.
Evelyn Brader’s serene, elegant sculptures placed thoughtfully throughout integrate seamlessly with the home’s refined interior design, which features antique floor tiles, exposed wooden beams, and marble finishes.
Enlightened living
“The light-filled living spaces, wrapped around a central patio with full-height windows, provide a stunning backdrop for the artwork, creating an immersive, art-centric environment. Each room showcases curated pieces, transforming this property into not just a home, but a gallery-like experience,” explains a Bacco Properties representative.
Dining, drinking, entertaining or simply relaxing and unwinding happens up on the large 76 m² roof terrace, affording views of Santa Eulalia church, the Cathedral and Bellver Castle. Carefully restored by the prime real-estate developer, the artful duplex is representative of the kind of historic gem sought out for its great potential. By collaborating with a shared vision, the two noted city luminaries succeeded in creating something quite unique and distinct in the market.
As the Balearic art scene continues to grow and thrive, Gallery RED forges ahead in its mission to platform and support exciting new and established artists. Incorporating original works into stand-out interior design is just one way the dynamic team led by entrepreneur Drew Aaron enables those appreciative of art to connect in a meaningful way.
