La Carbonera was an important chapter in Sergio Aranda’s creative journey. Located in the historic center of Barcelona, it served as a space where art, design, craftsmanship, and cultural exchange came together.
During this period, Sergio combined his professional background in design and gemology with his growing dedication to painting and mixed media art. The space became a place for experimentation, creativity, and dialogue, bringing together different disciplines that would later influence the development of his artistic practice.
Looking back, La Carbonera represents a significant step in the evolution of Sergio Aranda’s career. Many of the ideas that define his work today—material exploration, texture, transformation, craftsmanship, and the relationship between history and contemporary expression—were already taking shape during those years.
Today, this chapter remains an important part of his creative archive, documenting the path that eventually led to his full dedication to contemporary abstract art.
