Robert Ferrer I Martorell

Born in Valencia in 1978 and based in Mallorca, Robert Ferrer i Martorell is a prominent figure in contemporary geometric abstraction in Spain. He studied Fine Arts in Valencia between 1998 and 2004 and began exhibiting his work in 2000. Since then, his practice has developed around an exploration of geometric forms, space, and the relationships between structure and perception, establishing his presence within the Spanish contemporary art scene and gaining increasing international recognition.

A significant milestone in his career came in 2016, when he was selected by the Cervantes Institute in Paris to create the site-specific installation Porta oberta a l’invisible (Open Door to the Invisible). This project marked an important step in his international trajectory and was followed by exhibitions and presentations at major international art fairs, including ARCO, ARTBO, and Art Dubai. In Spain, his work has been presented at institutions such as the Salvador Victoria Museum in Rubielos de Mora, including the exhibitions El proceso de la forma (2018) and Línies Presents (2023), as well as at galleries and exhibition spaces in Madrid, Mallorca, and elsewhere.

Ferrer i Martorell's work has received important recognition and is held in significant public and private collections. In 2023, he received the La Escalera Collection Award at the Estampa art fair, which led to the acquisition of one of his works for the collection. His work is also part of collections including the Helga de Alvear Collection, the Phillips Collection, the Eduardo Hochschild Collection, and the Ars Citerior Collection, specialising in Spanish geometric abstraction.
