It is a project shared by the three cities and Baleària in favor of the creation of sustainable tourism experiences and products. The exhibition features unique designs of jewelry, ceramics, painting and sculpture by artists from the three cities, whose source of inspiration is the creativity around posidonia.
Among them, the participation of the sculptor Antonio Villanueva, an artist based in Ibiza and collaborator of the Baleària Foundation, who presents sculptural works that transmit the magic that surrounds the Posidonia, pretending to be submerged on the seabed, stands out. Villanueva elevates its beauty and elegance through the play of transparencies and textures offered by the use of resin and dried posidonia, dignifying its ancestral value and its necessary durability in the marine ecosystem.
