Barn
The recently transformed barn is now a versatile space utilized by the artist Lois Anvidalfarei as his own exhibition area and storage place for the plaster sculptures. Additionally, it serves as a cultural venue. Lois Anvidalfarei has turned this space into a unique fusion of art and history that enriches both art enthusiasts and the community.
Atelier
Lois Avidalfarei's atelier is characterized by its minimalist architecture and high functionality. However, what truly sets this space apart is the soft, indirect light that floods the entire studio. This natural light creates an inviting and inspiring atmosphere that enriches Lois's creative work in a unique way.
