Experiences

Fuerte Marbella presents the acclaimed exhibition “Los Invisibles” in its new exhibition space, the hotel’s hallways and facilities. After its resounding success at the Valentín de Madariaga Foundation in Seville in 2023, this iconic exhibition comes to Marbella with Es Arte Gallery and Fuerte Foundation, reaffirming El Fuerte Marbella’s commitment to art and culture.

The exhibition comprises a diverse collection ranging from painting and sculpture to figuration and abstraction. An exhibition located in the sophisticated atmosphere of the only 5-star hotel in the centre of Marbella.

“Los Invisibles” brings together five outstanding Andalusian artists: Isabel Andrada Vanderwilde, Magdalena Bachiller, Felipe Candel, Paco de la Matta and the late Rafael G. Zapatero. Each of them brings a unique and personal vision, exploring the delicate tension between artistic authenticity and market demands. The main thread of these 5 Andalusian artists is that they have begun their creative work in the 1980s, and share the same vision of art, despite having different life paths and using different expressive languages.
The exhibition is a reflection of our commitment to offering exceptional and accessible cultural experiences to all visitors to El Fuerte Marbella. Admission is free.

Guided tours available by reservation. Contact our Guest Experience department for more information.
