Last Friday, I was in the beautiful Spanish city of Córdoba for the Almenara Art Prize 2026 Gala & Award Ceremony. I was delighted to have been selected as a finalist with my oil painting Space to Be. It was also the fourth consecutive year that I had received an invitation to attend this special ceremony!
The gala took place at the magnificent Real Círculo de la Amistad, a historic building with beautiful halls and a truly special atmosphere. Córdoba itself is also a wonderful city, with so many beautiful historic buildings.
What made the evening even more enjoyable for me was meeting fellow artists from different countries. It’s always lovely to meet in person, exchange experiences, and enjoy such a festive occasion together with the organisers and everyone involved.
It was a real honour to be among the finalists of this international art competition with my painting Space to Be. It was a wonderful experience and an evening I’ll look back on with great pleasure.
