The Ibizan artist Marta Torres has established a profound connection with the Polyclinic Group, creating four works of art that embody a unique meaning. Her paintings are prominently displayed in the receptions and waiting rooms of various centers within the group, accompanying hundreds of patients daily with a universal message: serenity, identity, and emotion. The most recent piece, titled ‘Before the storm‘, has been installed on floor 0 of the Vila Parc Clinic, which houses units such as Emergencies, Nuclear Medicine, and Operating Rooms. This artwork welcomes patients and, like her other creations, leaves a lasting impression. The intense colors, reliefs, images of Ibiza, and use of materials with a rich history are unmistakable hallmarks of Torres’ work.
Artistic Expression in Healthcare Settings
Marta Torres’ involvement in the Polyclinic Group’s spaces is a source of pride for the artist. When Dr. Vilás initially requested her paintings for the centers, he expressed his desire for something that would help people momentarily forget their problems. Visiting a doctor can be a daunting experience, and finding solace in a vibrant, uplifting painting that celebrates the beauty of Ibiza seems like an excellent idea, according to the artist. Torres’ creations are not merely decorative; they serve a specific purpose, depending on the space in which they are located. Each work has been carefully crafted for the center that houses it, taking into account the emotional state of the people who visit.

Emotional Connection through Art
Thousands of people pass through the different centers of Vila Parc daily, and many stop to admire Torres’ works. The comments are always positive, and some even spark meaningful conversations. The artist’s paintings have become an integral part of the healthcare experience, providing a sense of calm and tranquility. ‘Before the storm’ conveys the feeling of being at home in Ibiza, reminding patients of the island’s beauty, even in times of stress or worry. This piece, like the rest of her work, is a testament to the power of art in healthcare settings.
Seasonal Inspirations
Marta Torres’ works are inspired by the four seasons of the year in Ibiza, showcasing the island’s diverse natural beauty. From the blooming almond trees of winter to the vibrant colors of autumn, each piece is a unique representation of the island’s charm. The artist’s use of materials with a rich history, such as old doors and windows, adds an extra layer of depth to her creations. By incorporating these elements, Torres gives new life to pieces of the island’s urban landscape, telling a story that resonates with patients and visitors alike.
