SCIENTIA
SCIENTIA is a unique exhibition project that invites you to explore the deep links between two seemingly distant disciplines: Science and Art. Designed for those who live among test tubes, computers, or canvases, this project is where scientific and artistic creativity meet and enhance each other.
Welcome to SCIENTIA:
Meeting between science and art
SCIENTIA is an innovative project that fuses art and science to bring the public closer to scientific research and illuminate scientists' often unknown daily lives, full of discoveries and dedication
Through various thematic lines and diverse artistic formats, SCIENTIA invites viewers to explore and understand the universe of science from an entirely new perspective.
With this initiative, SCIENTIA celebrates knowledge and tells the stories behind each discovery, highlighting the creativity, curiosity, and perseverance that characterize scientific work.
SCIENTIA goals
SCIENTIA MAKES science accessible to everybody
Through art, we are highlighting the process and essence of scientific work. Instead of focusing solely on the results, SCIENTIA shows us the process behind each breakthrough, the daily perseverance, and the ability to find answers in the unexpected.
Three Formats, One Interconnected Journey
Visual Art Exhibition
This art exhibition presents a series of “windows” into different fields of science. Each work is a tribute to a branch of knowledge, from physics and biology to astronomy and genetics. The pieces, created by visual artist Ramón Trigo, offer a poetic and visually striking view of scientific subjects, complemented by concise explanations that guide the viewer through crucial concepts. The exhibition invites contemplation and learning, intertwining the beauty of art with scientific knowledge.
Educational Book
This book is not just a compilation of concepts but a visual work that educates and fascinates. Through illustrations, stories, and accessible descriptions, the book makes complex topics understandable to readers of all ages.
Each chapter tells an inspiring story of discovery, creating a bridge between scientific theory and the human experience that makes it possible.
Educational Board GAme
To inspire children, youth, and adults, it is an educational adventure in which participants discover scientific principles through challenges and questions based on actual knowledge.
It is a resource for collaborative learning and an opportunity for players to explore their ingenuity and creativity as they delve into the world of science.
The images in the exhibition match those in the illustrated book, creating an immersive experience where the viewer “enters” the book’s pages as they walk through the exhibition.
Philosophy of the Initiative
The creation of SCIENTIA has been possible thanks to the collaboration between visual artist Ramón Trigo, curator Silvia Amarelo, and the Association of Spanish Scientists in the Netherlands (CENL). Together, they form a team that understands scientific rigor and artistic sensibility
SERENDIPia
SCIENTIA is framed within the SERENDIPIA philosophy, valuing those spontaneous moments of discovery when the curious mind ventures into the unknown
Creativity
The creativity that drives art and the serendipity that often guides scientific findings come together here to inspire new ways of seeing the world.

Meet the Creators
Ramón Trigo brings his artistic vision, translating scientific concepts into shapes and colors that capture the essence of each area of study. Silvia Amarelo, the project curator, articulates the artistic experience so that each element is accessible, immersive, and educational. The Association of Spanish Scientists in the Netherlands (CENL) contributes its scientific perspective and knowledge, ensuring the accuracy and authenticity of each topic the project addresses.
Join SCIENTIA
We invite you to join SCIENTIA and explore a space where art and science meet, where each work is a learning point and a window open to the imagination. Through this experience, you will discover that art and science speak the same language of curiosity and human creativity, although different in their expression.
