In the Porcelain Dreams series, Manuella Andrada Holló draws inspiration from the village of Deià, in the heart of Mallorca's UNESCO-listed Tramuntana mountains. Her paintings explore places where everyday life and imagination naturally meet.

​

The series moves through cafés, galleries, quiet courtyards and even bathrooms. At first they seem like unexpected subjects, but they all have one thing in common: they are spaces everyone shares. It doesn't matter who you are or where you come from. For a moment, those differences disappear.

​

This idea runs through the whole series. Manuella is less interested in status than in the small moments that reveal something genuine about people. Her colourful, expressive paintings capture those moments with warmth, humour and a touch of surrealism.

​

Porcelain Dreams is also a personal project. It reflects Manuella's love for Deià, her fascination with the people who pass through it, and her hope that these stories, told through paint, will connect with others.
