Art in Ibiza

Hand crafted jewellery, designed and made on Ibiza is a popular thing to find in local boutiques and markets across the Island. With many talented designers based here you are sure to pick up the perfect item! From inexpensive trinkets to those uber-expensive “must have” fashion items.

Spanish leather items are always popular and being an Island makes this no less true in Ibiza. Colourful leather handbags, belts, purses, jewellery and clothing are to be found in every market and in many of the fashion boutiques. Leather sandals are also popular and the Sandal Shop in Ibiza Town is possibly the best place to go for some custom-made footwear...a must on any Spanish beach holiday!

If you are on a clubbing holiday in Ibiza then you could be forgiven for thinking that face and body painting are the only type of painting going on! However, you will find that artists and painters have been coming to the Island for many years and in particular in the post war years of the 1950's when Ibiza was seen as a place of refuge and acceptance. It is thought that perhaps as a result of centuries of domination the people of Ibiza have grown particularly tolerant and that ideal of freedom is still strongly promoted on the Island today.

Art can be found all over the Island, as painters are inspired by the landscapes, beautiful light and freedom of expression that Ibiza grants them.
