Detail of one Daniel Schweitzer´s Materia Inscripta artworks to be exhibited, from May 26, 2026.

Further information about the exhibition will be shared in the coming weeks.

The artistic approach of Daniel Schweitzer (b. 1988, Germany) is based on a layering of bioceramic sheets interspersed with patches of pigment, creating a sculptural installation through which he reflects on various aspects. On the one hand, the importance of light in creation and habitation; on the other, the layering that characterises archaeology, reconstructing the past and our understanding of it; and, furthermore, the paintings in the Altamira cave: figures which, although their formal qualities are recognised, are devoid of any meaning because we lack the cultural context of the time in which they were created.

This exhibition by Daniel Schweitzer is the result of the 2nd ArteSantander / Altamira Museum Exhibition Prize 2025. The collaboration between the ArteSantander Fair and the Altamira Museum is based on both organisations’ interest in fostering partnerships between artists and institutions, but above all in highlighting the idea of continuity in artistic creation throughout human history.
