The Government of Catalonia has recognized Enric Majoral’s career with the 2025 National Crafts Prize, highlighting his distinctive vision and his pioneering role in shaping contemporary jewelry.
Over more than forty years, Majoral has transformed his workshop into much more than a workspace: a territory of research and intuition, where curiosity takes shape and craftsmanship is in constant dialogue with art.
His work exists in a boundary space between design, craftsmanship, and artistic creation. Through a persistent exploration of volume and space, his pieces avoid limits and conventions, forming a unique language that oscillates between tradition and innovation.
The award, presented on March 25 at the Palau de la Generalitat, was attended by President Salvador Illa and the Minister of Business and Labour, Miquel Sàmper. During the ceremony, the artist’s ability to build a coherent universe was highlighted—one rooted in nature, symbols, and a cultural memory that transcends time.
Creating from the margins
Majoral’s trajectory cannot be understood without Formentera. Living and creating far from conventional centers has allowed him to develop his own perspective, free from pre-established codes.
On the island, he found much more than a landscape: a rhythm, a way of working and being in the world. In that context, especially during the 1970s, a way of creating emerged based on constant questioning and a certain conscious naivety which, far from being limiting, becomes a driving force for discovery.
It is a naivety that questions, opens paths, and generates ways of living and working outside conventions. An impulse that has accompanied his entire evolution, though it never fully explains it.
A language of his own
With this recognition, Majoral consolidates a career defined by coherence and fidelity to his own universe. His pieces, both contemporary and timeless, arise from a combination of artisanal processes, intuition, and constant research that also embraces technological innovation.
From this creative tension emerges the Majoral signature: a way of understanding jewelry that has connected with diverse audiences and has also become a reference for new generations of creators.
More than a brand, it is a way of seeing, making, and persisting. A trajectory that not only explains a body of work, but also a way of inhabiting the craft.
