You know I love a big gallery opening or an outdoor painting competition, but sometimes, art belongs in the coziest, warmest corners of the city.
On the very same day as my other adventures, I headed to one of my absolute favorite spots in Málaga: Nina Café.
We organized a special evening that combined two of the best things in life: Art and Wine.
The vibe: Café & Musiquita
If you haven't been to Nina Café yet, you have to go. The atmosphere is just... cool.
It’s warm and intimate, with neon lights, vinyl records on the walls, and a soundtrack that makes you want to stay for hours. It was the perfect backdrop for what I am calling "Wild at Heart 2.0."
Wild at Heart 2.0
I decided to curate a "mini-exhibition" of some of my favorite pieces from my previous Wild at Heart collection.
Seeing these paintings in this setting—lit by candlelight and surrounded by music—gave them a totally different energy. They felt more intimate, more "lived in."
For example, my cactus painting looked so at home next to the warm glow of the candles. It felt like a little window into a desert night.
A night of tasting
The event wasn't just about looking at art; it was about engaging all the senses.
The wonderful team at Nina Café hosted a wine tasting. We enjoyed some incredible wines (like the beautiful Atamisque and Catalpa from Argentina).
There is something so poetic about holding a glass of beautiful red wine, listening to good music, and talking about art with lovely people. It was relaxed, unpretentious, and full of joy.
Come visit you may find Nina!
I love doing pop-ups like this because it brings art into "real life." You don't need a museum ticket to enjoy beauty; you just need a good café and good company.
My pieces will be hanging there for a little while, so please pop in, order a glass of wine (or a coffee!), and enjoy the "Wild at Heart" vibes.
See you around Málaga!
