Art & Fire is a programme about wildfires, landscapes and people that fuses artistic creativity with the elemental force of fire, exploring the intersection between artistic expression and the reality of wildfires. We are committed to art as a vehicle for raising awareness, and we make artists and their work visible in order to share unique visions and experiences about wildfires. To this end, we promote and participate in exhibitions, documentaries and other artistic proposals that, through artistic language, emotionally challenge the viewer.

Collaborating artists

Josep Serra i Tarragón

General practitioner (GP) and illustrator. From his earliest years, he was curious and enthusiastic about wildfires. But the perfect excuse that made all the artistic potential burst, was he documentary: “El Gran Silenci. Horta de Sant Joan”. Since then,  he created more than 1,500 works were the the essence of art and fire is reflected.

Works by Josep Serra for the exhibition “Memòries Incandescents”.

Maria Giró i Coll

Graduated in Fine Arts (UB, 2019) and Master in Cultural Management (UOC, 2021). Her artistic practice is articulated from the rural territory (natural and human) as a context and research and education through arts as a methodology. The result is multidisciplinary proposals in sculptural, poetic and sound formats that relate to the environment in which they are presented. She investigates wildfires, climate change and rural depopulation through art.
