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 exhibition opened on 17 October and is scheduled to remain accessible to visitors until Thursday, 12 November 2026. Admission is free.
Artwork Made with Sand and Sea Salt from the Pitiusas
One of the distinctive features of Piel de Mar is the incorporation of real natural materials collected from Ibiza and Formentera, including sand and sea salt.
Through acrylic painting and textured surfaces, Abril explores her emotional connection to the islands, drawing inspiration from the Mediterranean Sea, coastal landscapes, natural light and changing colours.
The collection forms part of Arteamor por las Islas, an artistic project celebrating the relationship between creativity and the landscapes of the Pitiusas.
Lidia Abril's Artistic Journey
Abril has lived in Ibiza since 2013, with the islands becoming a central source of inspiration for her work.
Although her relationship with painting began in childhood, 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 combines acrylic techniques with textured materials to translate personal memories and emotions into visual compositions.
Free Exhibition at Ocean Drive Ibiza
Arteamor por las Islas: Piel de Mar is being presented at Ocean Drive Ibiza, in Marina Botafoch, close to Talamanca Beach.
The exhibition offers residents and visitors an opportunity to discover an artistic interpretation of Ibiza and Formentera through paintings that incorporate elements of the islands themselves.
