Diego and Alexeja Art & Design Studio Presents: “Ibicenco” — A Tribute to the Creative Spirit of Ibiza

Ibiza, Spain — For the last 10 years Diego and Alexeja Art & Design Studio, in collaboration with MONDO GALERIA, proudly present Ibicenco —an extraordinary exhibition dedicated to the island of Ibiza and its enduring influence on global creative culture.

Curated as a tribute to the unique energy of this Balearic “floating crystal rock,” Ibicenco X explores the island's magnetic pull on visionary minds from antiquity to the present day. Since its inception in 2015, the exhibition has celebrated yearly the "Ibicenco way of being"—a state of freedom, artistic expression, and conscious living that has transcended the island to become a worldwide recognized symbol of creativity.

Through the ages, Ibiza has welcomed a fascinating cast of characters—from the ancient Punics or Cleopatra to cultural last century icons like Raoul Hausmann, Erwin Broner, Pink Floyd, Nico, Naomi Campbell, and even the ethos of Woodstock just to mention a few. Their stories formed part of the exhibition's broader narrative: Ibiza as a cradle of counterculture and artistic innovation.

Ibicenco has been showcased in iconic locations across the island, each chosen to highlight the dialogue between Ibiza’s architectural heritage and contemporary art. This evolving exhibition brings together a chorus of artists and creatives whose work engages with the island’s past, present, and future. 

Over the years, the exhibition has evolved from a historically grounded narrative into a deeply subjective experience, mirroring the personal journey of someone moving to Ibiza—from the initial awe of its landscapes and history to an inner awakening and encounter with the universality of the Self.

Diego and Alexeja are a creative tandem immersing themselves in different aspects of art and design. For years, they have been working together, creating iconic places, curious objects, sculptures, land art, videos, and paintings—generating a dialogue between both sensibilities through which they express to the world their curiosity and a particular spiritual approach to the arts.

Alexeja Pozzoni’s "Kundalini Rising" watercolors were not painted to be exhibited; This meditation plates  are to clear energy and “a process to absorb the intensity of reality.”
When reaching a crisis point in the cycle of things, life calls to center, to go inward to digest this intensity.
The intimacy of watercolor painting opens a portal to the realm of mystery, a silent dialogue with an invisible observer from the other side, the Outer, the unseen, the unintelligible. A call by the spirits remembering the awareness that this very moment can never be the same - as water. Stepping into the quantum field to materialize this connection brings her artworks as a result.

Diego Alonso’s work is the result of an experiment that began 25 years ago while he had malaria fever in India and was trying to communicate in a quantum level with the invaders in his bloodstream, evolving later on into a kind of tantric contemplation, experience of colour and absence. The aim of the corpse of works presented in this exhibition is to render in different media the fragile indescribable experience of meditation.

Both bodies of work, juxtaposed into an immersive experience, create a dramatic narrative about the Self, the inner and the outer existence, and union as the starting point for a non-dualistic vision of the universe.
