ANTONI JORDI – THE MAN AND GEOMETRY
Kairoi Art Digital Museum pays tribute to the visual artist Toni Jordi.
Toni Jordi is one of those artists who appears least frequently in public, yet anyone familiar with his work knows that it is the result of an intense and meticulous process. In his studio, where he spends endless hours, Toni conceives a new piece and then projects it onto tracing paper with a pencil. Every millilitre of paint, every stroke, every gesture exists because it belongs there.
In my modest proposal, I dare to approach Toni Jordi as a being driven by the impulses of architectural nature. He is an inventor, a seeker, a relentless adventurer, an experimenter. A precursor of a kind of art that is sincere and coherent. As he approaches eighty, he admits that he still feels the desire to reveal, through his creations, his way of observing, expressing and defining.
For years he has remained away from the exhibition circuit, until finally, in 2026, he decided to present his latest collections to the public, works filled with geometric explorations.
Some upcoming dates:
La Nit de l’Art, 19 September 2026, at Galeria Vanrell
Exhibition Col·lecció Geometries, at the Claustre de Sant Bonaventura in Llucmajor, 11 December 2026
Participation in a group exhibition during October 2026.
A solo exhibition at Kairoi Art Digital Museum
It is precisely through this solo exhibition, and alongside major collections by significant artists, that Kairoi Art Digital Museum pays tribute to Toni Jordi for his long and distinguished artistic career, highlighting certain aspects of a personality that extends outward through a slow and silent ripple.
Although, like most artists, he went through a period of academic training, his evolution gradually turned towards the search for individual identity. Toni Jordi very soon left the limits of his own boundaries behind and set his course towards distant horizons.
His way of interpreting the world unfolds within a scientific environment that examines angles, lines, volumes and points. Elements whose origins lie in geometry, a word derived from the Greek and meaning “to measure the earth.”
Gone is the man who experienced a period of business success and later a chapter in municipal politics. His greatest satisfaction now lies in spending hours in front of a canvas and continuing to nourish his passion for painting.
Throughout this ongoing process of recreation, Toni Jordi accumulates knowledge that leads him back to the origins of things and encourages him to keep investigating — in this case, the magnitude and infinite perspectives offered by pyramids, and the study of the movements of ballet.
Ballet demands constant discipline, and this is what Toni Jordi transfers into his compositions: the transformation of the body into polygonal forms and precise curves. His drawings reveal visual aesthetics, the trigonometry of arabesques, angles, the lines traced by arms and hips. The semicircles and arcs of the rond de jambe, the pirouettes and turns around the body’s central axis, or the way a triangular base balances and stabilises the distribution of body weight, allowing the dancer to sustain themselves en pointe.
His works emerge from a search into the origins of human movement.
