“Meine Arbeit ist eine ständige Untersuchung dessen, was zwischen dem Kurzlebigen und der Ewigkeit liegt. Moment und Erinnerung, Absorption und Verdunstung, Licht und Schatten sind einige der Auslöser, die mich inspirieren und sich auf meine Werke beziehen.

Meine Glaspyrographien werden mit Hilfe von heißem, geschmolzenem Glas gefertigt und beschreiben somit einen Weg, die Unmittelbarkeit des Augenblicks sowohl zu erfassen als auch zu verewigen.“

Etsuko Ichikawa,2012


Für Ihr leibliches Wohl ist auch gesorgt. Wir haben eine Itxaso -Bar mit dem neuen spanischen Aperitif für Sie. Der ausgewöhnliche Twist kommt durch den flambierten Rosmarinzweig und die kraftvolle Farbe des Itxaso -Aperitifs.

Ich freue mich auf Ihr Kommen.
