Raixa is a property placed in the Bunyola borough by the feet of the Tramontana Mountain Range on the Island of Mallorca, in Spain. Raixa has through the years become a symbol of former greatness, an ideal of how life used to be. Movies like “Bearn, the dolls’ chamber” from 1983 based on Llorenç Villalonga’s (1897-1980) novel show this. The main house is surrounded by many gardens. Maybe the most known is the northern one chaired by a monumental Stair. This part of the garden was designed by the Italian architect Giovanni Lazzarini (1769-1834) and is dedicated to the God Apollo. Two lions preceed the firs stair climb. The steps are organized in to several climbs originally surrounded by a collection of aromatic flowers, some of them imported from America. Several statues represent the four muses linked to Apollo (Poetry, Comedy, Drama, and Music) Many Spanish artists have represented the gardens of Raixa like Santiago Rusiñol. This ideal of former greatness and belonging to a dissolving culture lost in the past was also represented in an musical album named, Raixa by Mallorcan Singstress Maria Del Mar Bonet. Her concert by the steps of the monumental stair is still today a reference of the great culture that people from the island share

Gabriel Pastor is a young and creative Spanish architect based in Hamburg, Germany. Gabriel never belonged to the place where he was living. As a child he was the "foreigner" living on Mallorca; as a young man, the Mallorcan studying in Madrid; and now as an adult, he is the Spaniard working and living in Hamburg. As for many others, the pandemic changed everything for Gabriel. Between personal and professional tribulations, he was immersed in a continuous emotional state of longing and melancholy. He felt deeply nostalgic. It was then, that he decided to take refuge in his creativity. Mixing his interest in 3D design with a growing and effervescent curiosity for his roots, he began to be "En Biel Seia". En Biel Seia is Gabriel's artistic project. His 3D digital compositions reflect stories from Balearic folklore. The pieces are inspired by Mallorcan rondaies (popular short stories of typical oral transmission), popular music, poetry and Catalan modernist art. Many of the themes of the Balearic and Catalan cultural heritage are sometimes influenced by classical stories from Roman and Greek mythology and even biblical history. This cultural intersection serves him as a tool for research. The compositions are strongly influenced by the work of Anglada Camarasa, Santiago Rusiñol and the Pre-Raphaelite movement. With this project, Gabriel aims to learn from his roots and exploit his creativity. Using a modern language, he aims to tell stories that have not yet been heard by many.
