Escucha el mar (Listen to the sea) is inspired by the childhood delight of pressing a shell to your ear to listen to the sound of the sea (in reality the amplified sound of circulating blood). In this work it is a reference to our collective need to listen to the needs of our seas and and take pro-active steps to ensure they are conserved and maintained. The work has been used as the main image to represent the ARTMED exhibition in support of the BLUEWAVE ALLIANCE. https://www.bluewavealliance.org

The etching was created at the atelier and private gallery STUDIO 46 in Barcelona, where the artist often works. The legendary engraving workshop of STUDIO 46, in Barcelona is where some of the most famous and influential artists of the 20th Century created engravings, including Salvador Dalí, Joan Miró, Pablo Picasso, Joseph Beuys, Victor Vasarely, Eduardo Chillida, Antoni Tàpies, Richard Hamilton and Marc Chagall. The studio continues to thrive and has worked with/is working with Pitxot, Louise Bourgeois, Javier Mariscal, Lorenzo Quinn, Juliana Plexxo, JJ Walker and Jaume Plen

Each of the hand pressed etchings are marked with a hand drawn version of the ateliers contemporary mark which was designed by the artist JJ Walker.
