Artistic Mentorship

At Can Silvestre, we believe every artistic journey deserves support and real expertise. That’s why we collaborate with a diverse team of mentors—experienced artists and creative practitioners who offer one-to-one guidance throughout the residency.

Queralt Guinart

Artist and illustrator born in Moià and based in Barcelona. Her artistic practice moves between unique, highly graphic works and writing, including poetry and narrative, through which she explores everyday life with a critical, political, and deeply personal perspective. Through image and text, her work challenges dominant structures and offers alternative ways of seeing, rooted in reflection, resistance, and transformation.

TBC

(Barcelona, 1977) is a contemporary painter whose work explores the intersection between nature, the body, and lived experience. Her intuitive, gestural practice immerses itself in the organic world, where pigment and matter become a language of life. Working between Barcelona and the Empordà, she transforms her natural surroundings into a sensory and spiritual experience

Joana Santamans

Angèlica is a figurative sculptor of Greek and Catalan roots. Since the beginning of her artistic career, nature has been her main source of inspiration. Careful observation of its forms, rhythms, and movements, and the discovery that the architecture of the human body follows those same laws, sparked in her a deep fascination with the human figure.
