Let yourself be swept away by the gentle charm of Calibán Ramírez’s works at Martha, Art & Cookies Gallery in 1050 Brussels Belgium.

The gallery “Chez Martha, Art & Cookies” is a trendy spot in the heart of Ixelles with a unique twist, blending the indulgence of their famous cookies with the elegance of the visual arts.

A sensory exhibition where coffee grounds meet handmade paper, revealing ancient forms and forgotten spirits.

Location: Chez Martha, Art & Cookies.

96 Rue Lesbroussart, 1050 Ixelles

Opening: Thursday, April 16, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. (with the artist in attendance)

Visiting hours: Tuesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

A suspended interlude in the heart of Ixelles.

Come gently.

Distribute differently.

From humble materials (coffee grounds, handmade paper) → images that vibrate.

No decor. No effects. Just time, gestures, traces.

Caliban Ramirez works as one digs:

layers, erasures, returns.

His images do not show—they appear.

Coffee on sheet music.

Linocuts populated by animals, spirits, ancient forms.

Something between seeing and hearing.

It’s raw.

It’s slow.

It’s alive.

@Caliban RAMIREZ , born in Santiago, Chile, and now living in Belgium, creates work that blends drawing, printmaking and painting, drawing on more than twenty-five years of artistic exploration.
Trained at RHOK (Etterbeek), at the Académie de Boitsfort and under painters such as Maio Wassenberg, Roger Somville and Paul Gobert, he has developed a visual language that weaves together the mythologies of the South and the realities of the North.
His images emerge from layers, like memories settling slowly.
Today, he draws with coffee grounds on musical scores, revealing a free, almost sonic style. The gesture becomes rhythm, the mark becomes language.
On paper he makes himself, he improvises linocuts populated by dreamlike figures, ranging from animals to spirits and ancient presences. The material retains the memory; the image awakens it.
His work is a slow apparition: a world where gesture, trace and memory respond to one another.

Résidus de café et papier fait main. Cette combinaison seule suscite ma curiosité. La galerie semble être le lieu idéal pour ce genre d'œuvre. J'espère qu'elle voyagera au-delà de Bruxelles.

@Bill Richards Merci beaucoup, pour ton message et ta curiosité !

L’association des résidus de café et du papier fait main ouvre en effet un champ d’exploration très particulier, et je suis heureux qu’elle résonne déjà avec toi. La Galerie de chez Marta offre un cadre précieux pour cette recherche.

Et oui, tu touches juste : toute l’énergie est mise pour que Les traces de l’écume puisse voyager, dépasser Bruxelles et continuer son chemin ailleurs.

Au plaisir de t’y voir !

Une exposition dans une galerie qui mêle art et cookies ressemble à la combinaison la plus magique dont j'aie jamais entendu parler ! L'idée de marc de café et de papier fait main se réunissant pour créer quelque chose qui vibre de vie est tellement poétique. Je souhaite à Caliban une belle ouverture le 16 avril !

Thank you, dear @CourtneyLangmore. It is a real pleasure to know that this initiative brings joy. Because, for me, it embodies a fundamental principle of art: it encompasses the full range of our perceptions and our shared human experience. And how beautiful are life’s moments, when the art of living is synonymous with aesthetics, social connection, and the shared pleasure of eating and drinking together. In times of uncertainty and fear, may art be committed to peace and sharing. You’re welcome to visit if you’re ever in Belgium.
