IAMPIÔ holds an ongoing artist residency at the Fundació Joan Ill in Vila Seca, Spain, which she returns to several times a year.

The foundation places vast spaces and the surrounding natural landscape entirely at her disposal, offering a creative environment: open, unhurried, and carrying a quiet and particular energy she draws on directly in her work.

​

The residency is shaped by genuine dialogue. Cécilia Lobel and Joan Ill accompany IAMPIÔ as mentors and interlocutors, guiding her practice, and sharing their own experiences.

​

From this place, two forms of creation have emerged most strongly. The first is painting and poetry: phrases and poems composed on location, born from the atmosphere of the place and the thoughts it generates, which IAMPIÔ then transcribes onto enormous banners. The second is a series of wood sculptures called Les Guerriers (Warriors): pieces of wood collected directly from the natural surroundings of the foundation, painted without artifice, kept entirely raw.

​

The Fundació Joan Ill holds a unique creative energy. It channels an entire dimension of her collections and her ongoing exploration.
