Velázquez skies, the drip of Pollock and the silence of Matisse | Bombolone 15.01.2026

Under the sharp, unyielding light of a Madrid winter, Vincenzo navigates the intersection of creative systems and urban rhythm. This episode reflects on the dialogue between Jackson Pollock’s kinetic action and Andy Warhol’s serial icons at the Thyssen-Bornemisza, contrasted with Matisse’s pursuit of essential colour at CaixaForum.

As the city vibrates with the arrival of Inverfest — featuring James Blake and Rufus T. Firefly — we also look towards the horizon as the countdown to the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics begins. From the surrealist roots of the Pixies to the "strange overtones" of David Byrne, this is an hour of curated sound for the curious mind, broadcast from the heart of Spain to the world.
