On February 19, 2025, galeria SENDA will have the honor of presenting a new exhibition by the prestigious artist Jaume Plensa, “Murmuri”, a Catalan word which means “Whisper”. In this exhibition, Plensa explores a diversity of materials that enriches his already iconic career. Alabaster, bronze, paper, Vietnamese marble, Murano glass and iron give shape to a group of works where his characteristic sculptures are the main protagonists.

Plensa‘s practice is based on the constant search for beauty in simplicity. True to his style, the artist presents his iconic busts and letters that intertwine as universal signs of communication and reflection. Each piece is a testament to his technique and his ability to connect with human emotions. An example of this is one of the series presented in this exhibition, Nest. In this series we find reliefs of contemplative or dreamy faces emerging from alabaster, uniting the classical precept that sculpture is already contained in stone with a contemporary use of photography in its production. In short, the Nest series conveys new ways of representing figurative forms in contemporary portraiture.

Plensa is internationally recognized as one of today’s leading contemporary portraitists, harnessing the power of this approach to convey our relationship to the world and to each other, underscoring our shared humanity through portraits of individuals.
