For decades Ibiza has been attracting artists and creative people from around the world; many of them have made the island their home and have chosen to work from here, but what are the unseen roots that fuel their unlimited creativity?
Also, why is INMEDIA so creative?
Many artists will agree that Ibiza is appealing if you seek freedom, space and energy for your projects. It’s a place that offers an opportunity for people to express themselves outside of their confines and comfort zones. When you come to the island, you feel able to take risks and do something that you love, which might be due to a mix of tolerance, a multicultural environment, a calm way of life, mystical vibes and inspiration from the beauties of the island.
Tolerance
Ibiza has always been under the domination of many different cultures: the Carthaginians, the Romans, the Arabs and then the Catalans and more recently, Ibiza has been under the invasion of hippies, clubbers and jet set. This long history of different influences has brought the licences to develop a sense of acceptance and tolerance towards others, the same patience that people have nowadays and which is a source of inspiration for many young artists, who, by staying on this beautiful island, get inspired and generate new and fresh artistic expressions.
Multicultural environment
Ibiza is a relatively tiny island with the most significant international talent concentration. On the island, there is a mix of different countries and backgrounds, and they all influence each other culture. The cosmopolitan environment gives artists a chance to exchange ideas, experience new visions and allow them to develop a vast network which led to the establishment of an extensive international creative community living here.
Calm way of life
‘Tranquilo,’ one of the most famous words in Ibicenco, means ‘finding inner peace in harmony with nature’, and many creative thinkers are attracted by this ‘Tranquilo’ Ibicenco way of life; they find inspiration and gratification from the natural beauty and the simple, spiritually enriching, Ibicenco way of life.
Mystical vibes
Creative thinkers in Ibiza get deeply inspired by the legendary mystical spirit of the island. Wherever you look, you can find traces of this powerful magnetic force, from images of the protectress of Ibiza,’ the goodness Tanit’ to the magical spots of Atlantis and Es Vedra. Even in ancient times, it was believed that Ibiza was a magic isle blessed by the Gods and that the island’s water and red soil had magnetic energies. In more recent years, Ibiza has been a magnet for hippies and even though the island already had a reputation for being an environment where freedom of thought and expression reined, the 1960’s hippie-culture established this image of Ibiza and nowadays, artists can find inspiration from hippie’s communities living in the area and join them in celebrating the true magic of the island.
Beauties of the island
Who disagrees that Ibiza, with its 340 sunny days a year, contributes to energising our soul without considering the breathtaking sunsets that open the heart and quieten the mind? So there is no doubt that the island, with its most transparent waters, secluded beaches, secret coves, and enchanted forests that smell of rosemary, thyme and pine, has a positive influence, giving creative people the desired inspiration.
So let’s be part of this small microcosmos where everyone lives and allows to live. Let us embrace the energy and absorb the vibes of this island full of soul, love and creativity.
