Art inspired by the landscapes and Mediterranean atmosphere of Ibiza and Formentera is currently on display at Ocean Drive Ibiza, where artist Lidia Abril presents Arteamor por las Islas: Piel de Mar.
The exhibition, which opened on 17 October, brings together a collection of paintings exploring the artist's emotional connection to the Pitiusas through colour, texture and natural materials. Visitors can discover the exhibition free of charge until Thursday, 12 November 2026.
Paintings Made with Elements from Ibiza and Formentera
One of the distinctive features of Abril's collection is the incorporation of real natural materials from the islands, including sand and sea salt.
Combining acrylic painting with textured surfaces, the artist creates works inspired by the Mediterranean Sea, changing coastal colours, natural light and the landscapes of Ibiza and Formentera.
Rather than simply reproducing familiar island scenery, the collection translates personal memories and emotions into artistic compositions, reflecting the connection between the artist and the environment that inspires her.
From Finance to an Artistic Career
Lidia Abril has lived in Ibiza since 2013, although her professional background originally developed in the financial sector, where she worked for more than two decades.
Her relationship with painting began during childhood before she returned to artistic creation as a form of personal expression and reflection.
Through Arteamor por las Islas, she brings together her passion for art and her connection to the Pitiusas, using the islands themselves as both inspiration and material.
