Artist Residency 2027
Archetypes of the Mediterranean Goddesses
Pyrenees · Costa Brava | April 2027
Overview
The Wellbeing Planet presents an immersive Artist in Residence program situated between the Mediterranean Sea and the Pyrenees—two landscapes that do not simply coexist, but generate a unique perceptual field.
This residency is conceived as a space of inquiry at the intersection of art, neuroaesthetics, and biophilia, inviting participants to explore how archetypal forms emerge through direct contact with landscape, silence, and embodied perception.
Rather than focusing on production, the program emphasizes:
— perceptual refinement
— symbolic awareness
— integration of inner and outer landscapes
— the emergence of form as a living process
The central theme, Archetypes of the Mediterranean Goddesses, explores the feminine as a field of intelligence present in nature, memory, and creative process.
Participants will not approach this dimension conceptually, but experientially—through observation, walking, silence, and creation.
As part of the residency, participants will engage in a series of curated visits to key sites connected to the creative universes of Antoni Gaudí, Pablo Picasso, and Salvador Dalí.
These visits are not conceived as cultural excursions, but as perceptual immersions into the environments where form, vision, and symbolic language emerged.
Each space will be approached as a living field, inviting participants to:
— observe how perception organizes form
— sense the relationship between matter and imagination
— explore how landscape, memory, and inner structure converge
— recognize archetypal patterns present in each creative universe
Selected Sites May Include
— Sagrada Família and other environments shaped by Gaudí’s organic intelligence
— Museu Picasso Barcelona and spaces linked to Picasso’s perceptual transformation
— Dalí Theatre-Museum and the landscapes of Cadaqués and Portlligat, central to Dalí’s symbolic universe
Through guided observation and silent inquiry, participants will not study the artists—
they will enter the conditions from which their work became possible.
The program combines guided practices, individual exploration, and collective reflection:
— daily perceptual practices (neuroaesthetic approach)
— immersion in natural environments (sea, forest, mountains)
— contemplative sessions and symbolic inquiry
— individual and collective creation time
— dialogues on art, consciousness, and nature
— curated field visits
— optional one-to-one sessions
Who This Is For
This residency is designed for artists, researchers, and practitioners who are not seeking to produce more work, but to transform the way work emerges.
It is a space for those willing to enter uncertainty, silence, and perception as primary tools.
Closing Statement
A residency where the question is not what to create,
but from where perception creates.

by The Wellbeing Planet
The Wellbeing Planet is a visionary project that explores the intersection of art, science, and human experience, focusing on how spaces, landscapes, and sensory perception shape creativity, cognition, and well-being. Through artist residencies, research programs, and immersive journeys, we invite creators, thinkers, and visionaries to engage in transformative experiences in some of the most inspiring places on Earth. Whether in futuristic cities, ancient cultural hubs, or pristine natural environments, our mission is to merge art and science, tradition and innovation, opening pathways to new ways of seeing, feeling, and creating.
Our work takes us across the world, exploring countries such as Japan, China, Spain, Mexico, Colombia, and the United Arab Emirates, where we collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to foster artistic and intellectual exchange.
This initiative is directed by Koncha Pinos, a polymath, explorer, and pioneer in neuroaesthetics, renowned for her groundbreaking studies on Picasso, Gaudí, and Duván López. Her work seamlessly blends dance, visual arts, psychology, nature, and aesthetics, always driven by an insatiable curiosity for cultures, knowledge fields, and human consciousness. Passionate about both science and art, Koncha’s vision is to expand the boundaries of creativity and perception, inspiring others to see, feel, and think beyond the ordinary.
