Provenance: Private collection DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK In Ibiza Market, Ignacio Gil Sala transports us to a traditional Mediterranean island scene, likely set in the 1950s or 60s. Women with brightly colored scarves, children, fruit, and woven baskets fill a lively open space under improvised awnings, where sunlight filters through with vibrant intensity. The artist skillfully and emotively captures the bustle of market day, using a rich palette of earth tones, blues, and yellows applied with loose, impasto brushstrokes that convey both motion and warmth. His focus on the human and the everyday reveals Gil Sala’s poetic interest in documenting the essence of popular life. ARTIST BIOGRAPHY Ignacio Gil Sala (Barcelona, 1913 – 2003) was a prominent Spanish Post-Impressionist painter, celebrated for his treatment of Mediterranean light and his sensitivity in portraying genre scenes. Trained at the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona, he was awarded the Silver Medal in 1930 and received a grant in 1936 to travel throughout Spain, supported by the sculptor Mariano Benlliure. His work includes landscapes, seascapes, portraits, and urban scenes, all depicted with a lively, honest, and direct gaze.

He received numerous awards, including: Silver Medal from the School of Fine Arts (1930) First Medal at the International Exhibition of Palma de Mallorca (1941) Prizes at the African Painters...
