Lidia Abril's Piel de Mar Exhibition at Ocean Drive Ibiza Closes on 12 November

10 November 2026

Art inspired by the landscapes and natural materials of Ibiza and Formentera is on display at Ocean Drive Ibiza, where artist Lidia Abril presents Arteamor por las Islas: Piel de Mar. The free exhibition brings together paintings incorporating real sand and sea salt from the Pitiusas, transforming the artist's emotional connection with the islands into colour, texture and form.

The exhibition opened on 17 October and is scheduled to close on Thursday 12 November 2026, leaving visitors just a few days to discover the collection at the Marina Botafoch hotel.

A Collection Inspired by Ibiza and Formentera

Piel de Mar explores the relationship between the artist and the islands through the colours, textures and changing light of the Mediterranean.

The sea, coastal landscapes, natural surroundings and atmosphere of Ibiza and Formentera provide the inspiration for the collection. Rather than simply depicting the islands, Abril incorporates elements of their natural environment directly into her paintings.

One of the defining features of the works is the use of real sand and sea salt collected from the Pitiusas. These materials are combined with acrylic paint and textured surfaces, giving the paintings a physical connection to the landscapes that inspired them.

The result is a collection in which the islands are represented not only through imagery and colour, but also through materials taken from their surroundings.

Lidia Abril's Artistic Connection with the Pitiusas

Lidia Abril has lived in Ibiza since 2013, with the island and neighbouring Formentera becoming central sources of inspiration for her creative work.

Her relationship with painting began during childhood. However, she spent more than two decades working in the financial sector before returning to artistic creation.

She describes painting as a form of meditation and a space for personal expression and connection. Her technique combines acrylic painting with textured materials, translating memories and emotions associated with the islands into visual compositions.

Her exhibition history began in Valencia before extending to Ibiza, reflecting different stages of her personal and artistic journey.

Arteamor por las Islas: Art Connected to the Territory

The exhibition forms part of Arteamor por las Islas, an artistic project centred on the relationship between creativity and the landscapes of the Pitiusas.

The concept brings together art and a sense of place, using the natural environment of Ibiza and Formentera as both inspiration and material.

Through Piel de Mar, Abril explores the islands beyond their familiar landscapes, focusing on their light, atmosphere, colours and emotional significance.

The collection offers visitors an opportunity to experience a personal artistic interpretation of the Mediterranean, with each work incorporating a small physical fragment of the islands themselves.

Arteamor por las Islas: Piel de Mar is being presented at Ocean Drive Ibiza, located in Marina Botafoch, close to Talamanca Beach.

Admission is free, and the exhibition remains scheduled to run until Thursday 12 November 2026.
