The Ibercaja Foundation and the Teruel Museum are organising the exhibition El baluarte de nada (The Bastion of Nothingness), a remarkable tribute to the Teruel mystic Miguel de Molinos, bringing together the works of seven prominent contemporary artists who reinterpret his legacy: his thinking, his defence of silence, introspection and inner freedom. 

These are seven creators with solid national and international careers who have developed personal languages linked to spirituality, aesthetic reflection and the inner pulse of art: Ricardo Calero, Jacobo Castellano, Inma Femenía, Álvaro Negro, Charo Pradas, Fernando Sinaga and Susana Talayero.

Taking Miguel de Molinos' thinking as its starting point, the exhibition uses 21 pieces, including paintings, sculptures, photographs and artistic installations, to address the poetics of silence, the fertility of nothingness and interiority as a radical force. 

With this exhibition, the Ibercaja Foundation and the Museum of Teruel aim to highlight the heritage and spiritual legacy of Miguel de Molinos, one of the greatest figures in universal mysticism who deserves to be recognised and whose thinking and search for inner silence is highly relevant today. 

The tour of the exhibition, curated by Alejandro J. Ratia, invites each visitor to step away from today's world, saturated with stimuli and information overload, and embrace a vindication of absence, silence, contemplation and nothingness as a creative space.
