Project SIO consists of three artists who share an apartment and studio in Barcelona. The idea of a cross-generational artist collective is nothing new in art history: even with the Flemish masters, family members from different generations worked in the same studio. The difference with Project SIO is that there are no hierarchies. The different forms of expression of the three artists complement each other in a successful chemistry and thus push their differences into the background. Lautaro Saavedra's impressive, anthropomorphic, bronze animal figures harmonize with the intimate poetry of the works of Fina Oliver, who experiments with textiles in an exciting way. In addition, the pictures of Adriana Saavedra, who is influenced by Pop Art, are successfully added.

In his book About the Spiritual in Art, Kandinsky obliged artists to start the pyramid of humanity with their talent. It does exactly thatFina Oliver in her latest works. Playing with objects, sculptures and textiles, she adds spirituality to the personal worlds she has portrayed so skillfully throughout her career. Fina Oliver is a poet who does not communicate with us in words, but has found her expressiveness in her sculptures, her objects and her textile imagery. She touches us with her works and thus follows Kandinsky's call in the most exemplary way.Adriana Saavedras bold and colorful images reveal her roots in Pop Art at first glance. At the same time, the artist captivates us with her eye for minimalist abstraction and her sense of immediacy, both qualities that she developed in her early training as a photographer. Bringing a feminist perspective to pop art, Adriana explores gender roles and stereotypes by breaking down symbols into a minimalist, neutral form.Lautaro Saavedra lives between Barcelona and the sculptor's stronghold of Pietrasanta in Tuscany, where he completed his training as a sculptor and familiarized himself with the ancient technique of lost-wax casting. In the course of this process, both the model and the mold are destroyed. Lautaro's works are therefore exclusive one-offs that cannot be produced a second time. In them, he combines the perfect forms of the human body with an animal head with anatomical precision. The resulting anthropomorphic beings symbolize the tragic, humorous and sarcastic aspects of life.
