Contemporary Art in Eric Vökel Boutique Apartments

When I first began to think about the interior design of my apartments, I discovered the endless variety of inspirational solutions that a city like Barcelona had to offer me. As I furthered my search for distinctive elements, I decided to link each rental apartment in Barcelona to a single principle which would make them an extension of the city itself, from the point of view of contemporary art, in the form of mural creations.

The cultural, historical and architectural wealth of the city constituted a muse to help inspire a definition of an iconic concept to be featured in the apartments. Thus, an emotional bond, which would be suggestive, distinctive, personalized and exclusive, could be created.

The Sagrada Familia and the Eixample neighbourhood served as sources of inspiration for transmitting my ideas to a group of young artists I had previously admired and followed. They are the true artisans of the works of art which can be seen in our tourist apartments in Barcelona. After my initial experience in the Ciudad Condal, I decided to employ the same precepts and criteria to add touches of artistic singularity to my luxury suites in Madrid.

The aforementioned artists include Fátima Tocornal, a multi-disciplinary artist, sculptor, goldsmith, painter and video art producer, Nuria Manzano, a brilliant illustrator and jeweller, and Enric Mangen, an alternative graffiti artist born in Switzerland and the first of them to be invited to take part in our unique creative experience. What a privilege to be able to make good use of their artistic expression!

The expertise of calligrapher and lettering designer Iván Rodríguez Castro, creator of fine typographies such as Dark Knight, Jahila and The Road, and Ramón López Avendaño, one of the youngest and most award-winning exponents of contemporary art, also played their part in the mural decoration of the apartments.

Our suites also feature the illustrations of Cinta Sala Candela and Leire Urbeltz Munuce, and the work of Xavier Giner, Director of the Higher Institute for Artistic Teachings of the Valencian Community (Spanish initials: ISEACV) and Ezequiel Fernandez Silva.

They each provided a form of expression to personalize each of the luxury Eric Vökel Boutique Apartments with authentic contemporary art in the form of murals.
