En Biel Seia is the alias of Gabriel Pastor, a Spanish architect and artist. Born in Madrid in 1987 and Mallorcan by adoption, his work revolves around the exploration of his Balearic roots, reinterpreting ancestral stories and relooking traditional craftsmanship through contemporary media such as digital rendering, animation, and 3D printing.

Nature occupies a central place in his creative imagination. For him, being Mallorcan means an intimate connection with the landscape and its symbolic weight, a vision inherited from Catalan Romantic painters and poets such as Joan Alcover. His aesthetic, dominated by organic shapes and evocative textures, is reminiscent of elements of Balearic folklore while exploring the imprint of Mediterranean civilizations on the Mallorcan island identity.

Despite his deep connection to nature, En Biel Seia doesn’t view technology as a cold or dehumanizing tool and embraces it as a contemporary form of craftsmanship. Just as the potter shapes clay, today we shape code and pixels, forming worlds where the physical and the virtual coexist. His work blurs the boundaries between the human and the artificial, the material and the intangible. 3D printing becomes the ceramics of the 21st century, digital rendering is the new canvas, and folk tales are reimagined as present-day stories. 

Inspired by Donna Haraway’s Cyborg Manifesto, En Biel Seia sees the contemporary human as a hybrid: an organism where the biological and technological intertwine. The integration of technology into our lives is no longer optional, but shaping what it means to be human. In light of this, he poses an ethical and creative question: How do we inhabit this cyborg condition? How can we use our digital tools to expand our artistic expression?

In this exhibition, En Biel Seia creates a universe where tradition and technology do not oppose each other, but rather, are symbiotic. The past is reinvented with the tools of the future. And the traditional notion of what is "handmade" is challenged, radically expanding the realm of possibility in artistic practice.
