Hermès has the tradition of seeking and commissioning artists
to decorate their stores with carte blanche given the firm’s theme of the year. It was in this vein that I was introduced to
the work of Spanish artist Pamen Pereira where she incorporated the notion of
liberty, fragility, imagination and swallows into the Hermès Barcelona store.
Although a contemporary and multi-disciplinary artist with
private and public commissions since 1989, I personally favor Pamen’s nature
influenced sculpture and installations. It’s
their humor and whimsicality that attracts me to them. Given the right
residential interiors project I would commission hundreds of birds or
butterflies flying in a vortex to the top of a staircase from the ground floor!
And then intermingle unobtrusive long pendant lights to illuminate it all at
night. Wow!
It’s likely that Pamen’s breakthrough has just come with
this installation at Hermès. Felicidades. En hora
buena!
