DI Projects introduces us to a world of Interior Design through a sample intended to deepen the constant aesthetic search that floods our daily universe and results in a tireless work that connects technological innovation and beauty, by involving one artistic vision to the last detail of our micro worlds: the home, the office, the restaurant, the library… in our present society.

Furniture and Interior Design, that looks for an equilibrium of the individual with the space around and displays its creative and magical aura,  has the ability to transform an empty space into a livable place full of culture.

DI Projects reinvented for us the Contemporánea RC (in the
Diocesan Museum of Regina Coeli).

Today, 06 of June, begins the Conjuro program in Santillana del Mar with the inauguration of the exhibition of Puchi Incera “Tiempos del Querer” at 19.30. You may visit the works from 01 to the 24 of June in the Contemporánea RC room (Diocesan Museum of Regina Coeli).

From Puchi Incera: With painting, I try to command the chaos of my ideas. They are like schemes that enclose diverse content and at the same time, opens its branches. There are some verses with a lot of words condensed into one or various colorful images, whose source is experience and memory. The paintings are continuous self-portraits, a form of psychoanalysis or looking at the interior of an individual, in a search without an end. It is a way of apprenticeship where manual activity and intellectual decision interact.

This year there will be seven exhibitions  (Sigue leyendo.)

On August 29, 2009 from 22:00 h on the square of Santillana del Mar can enjoy the spectacle of dances from the group Ubiarco.
