在马略卡岛腹地，我们与意大利画廊KALPA的两位朋友 Pui Yi 与 Aurora 走进了 Guillem Nadal 的居所与工作室，这里空间鲜活，与作品一同呼吸。

In the heart of Mallorca, we, along with two friends from the Italian gallery KALPA, Pui Yi and Aurora, entered the residence and studio of Guillem Nadal. The space here is vibrant and breathes together with the works.

六月的马略卡岛以一种安静而持久的姿态迎接我们；光紧贴着石头，空气里带着盐分，地平线像一口久蓄的呼吸般缓缓折叠。

的居所与工作室像是一处被光雕凿出来的洞穴，经过数十年的生活被挖掘、打磨而成。没有顶灯，没有刻意布置的装饰——只有手工打造的家具，能吸纳并回馈阳光的墙壁，以及那些最简朴的角落，连微小的举止也自带意义。在此处，生活与创作浑然一体。

Mallorca in June does not meet you with spectacle, but with a kind of quiet insistence. Light clings to stone, the air carries salt, and the horizon folds into itself like a long-held breath. In the midst of this island, we entered

’s home and studio. It feels like a cavern of light, hollowed and refined through decades of living. There are no ceiling lamps, no staged décor—only furniture shaped by hand, walls that absorb and return the sun, corners where the simplest gestures carry intention. Here, living and creating are inseparable. The space is alive, and it breathes with the work.

艺术家 Guillem Nadal

Guillem Nadal（1957年生）是西班牙最具代表性的当代艺术家之一，常年生活与创作于马略卡岛。他的艺术与故土紧密相连，作品中蕴含自然的生命力，也折射出岛屿的矛盾气质与风景。从雕塑、场域特定的装置到绘画，他不断跨越媒介，发展出独特的抽象语言：作品既如洞穴、孤岛或海浪般富有物质感，又在书写性的动作与肌理之间保持张力。光与影、丰盈与留白、冲动与静默，在他的创作中彼此交织。他的作品足迹遍及世界各大美术馆和艺术机构，而他的根基，始终深植于马略卡的土地与自然。

Guillem Nadal (born 1957) is regarded as one of Spain’s most significant contemporary artists, living and working on the island of Mallorca. Deeply rooted in his homeland, his practice draws on nature’s vitality while reflecting the island’s contradictory character and shifting landscapes. Moving fluidly between sculpture, site-specific installations, and painting, he has developed a distinctive abstract language: works that evoke caves, islands, or waves, while holding a tension between calligraphic gesture and tactile surface. Light and shadow, fullness and emptiness, impulse and silence—all converge within his art. His works are held in major museums and collections worldwide, yet their foundation remains inseparable from the soil and nature of Mallorca.

说，他的作品是“风景”。然而，这些风景并非马略卡的山峦或海洋，而是另一层次的风景：既可见、可触，同时也承载记忆、情绪与想象。浮起的纹理仿佛地形图上的山脊；颜料的沉积，像是地质年代的压痕。要理解它们，人们不仅要向外看，更要向内看。每一幅画都不是等待解码的图像，而是一片可以栖居的地貌——一面反射观者内心风景的镜子。千人千目，便有千种地平线。

Guillem Nadal

speaks of his art as landscapes. Yet they are not the landscapes of Mallorca’s hills or sea. They are landscapes of another order: visual and tactile, yes, but also memorial, emotional, imaginary. Relief lines rise like ridges in a topographic map; pigments settle as if pressed by geological time. To grasp them, one must look not only outward but inward. Each painting is less an image to be decoded than a terrain to be inhabited, a mirror that reflects the viewer’s own inner landscape. A thousand eyes will see a thousand different horizons.

他的创作并非始于设计，而是始于自然的原始馈赠。他钟情于最直接的事物——枝木、石块、未经调和的色料。常常，他将画布铺在地上作画，从脚下的大地汲取能量。那姿态近似书法：形体在笔触落下的瞬间即被赋予。不是为了强行制造结果，而是让当下决定一切。留下的痕迹，才是最真实的印记。

His process begins not with design but with the rawness of nature itself. He loves what is given directly—branches, stones, pigments in their first state. Often he paints on the ground, drawing energy from the earth beneath him. The gesture recalls calligraphy, where form is born at the instant the brush touches the surface. He does not intend to make something happen; he lets the moment decide. What remains in that instant, he believes, is the most truthful trace.

对他而言，创作源自疑问。当生命与意义的疑问涌上心头，正是他最为专注的时刻。怀疑点燃了塑形的冲动，也开启了对形式的探寻。但作品完成之时，疑问并不会消失。很多时候，他把作品搁置一旁，精神上仍未完结，等待日后再度对峙。有时他能与之和解，有时则不能，那就将其烧毁。能留下的，是能与时间对抗的。

Creation, for him, springs from doubt. When questions rise in him—questions of life, of meaning—that is when he works most intensely. Doubt ignites the impulse to shape, to search for form. Yet when a work is finished, the question does not vanish. Often he leaves the piece aside, unfinished in spirit, waiting until he can return to it and confront it again. Sometimes he reconciles with it; other times he cannot, and then he burns it. What survives is what endures, what holds its own against time.

在谈及作品时，他常回到“圆”的意象。每一件作品如同书中的一页——独立存在，却又向着整体推进。圆，对他而言，是生命的线索，是完整之岛的梦境。那是我们都在追寻的失落之岛，是永远在远方的归处。他的绘画是这座岛屿的片段，像未尽的山脊般隆起，是指向一个未曾闭合的圆的手势。

In speaking of his works, he often returns to the image of the circle. Each piece is like a page in a book—free in itself, yet always moving toward an eventual whole. The circle, for him, is the life-line, the dream of a complete island. It is the lost island we all long for, the place of return that remains just out of reach. His paintings are fragments of this island, maps that rise like unfinished ridges, gestures that point toward a roundness never fully closed.

站在他的工作室里，便能感受到这种探寻。四周是完成的或未完成的作品，画布与大地上隆起的风景，沉默中悬置的问题。空间本身亦被同样的运动所牵引：去繁就简，从未真正终结，总在趋向更纯粹的状态。而在这一点上，

的“岛屿”已超越马略卡，成为一个独立的疆域——疑问与渴望的地貌，坚韧与未竟的风景——一个我们都能在心底识别出的岛屿。

To stand in his studio is to feel this search. Around you are works completed and abandoned, landscapes rising from canvas and earth, questions suspended in silence. The space itself seems caught in the same movement: pared down, never finished, always adjusting toward greater simplicity. And in this,

’s island expands beyond Mallorca. It becomes a territory of its own, a landscape of doubt and desire, of endurance and incompleteness—an island we all recognize, somewhere within ourselves.
