The Club Nàutic Sant Antoni (CNSA) opens this Thursday, December 18, at 19.30 pm, the painting exhibition ‘Marines’, a monographic exhibition of the Ibizan artist Diana Bustamante that can be visited in the club’s social lounge for the next three months until March 15.
This is the second pictorial exhibition organized by the CNSA in this space, after the one held last spring with works by Carlos Genicio, as part of its commitment to bring culture and art to members, residents and visitors. The opening ceremony will include a talk between the artist and the journalist Xescu Prats, in which Bustamante will present the collection, and will end with a Spanish wine.
The origin of the exhibition
The germ of ‘Marines’ is set in the summer of 2023, when the Club Náutico Ibiza gave the CNSA a work on the occasion of its 50th anniversary. The piece, a striking aerial view of the Illots de Ponent, made in acrylic and Japanese paper collage on canvas, came out of Diana Bustamante’s studio and surprised the board of Es Nàutic both for its subject matter and its artistic quality.
The work shows sa Conillera in the foreground, with its lighthouse, as well as s’Espartar, es Vedrà, es Vedranell and part of the west coast of Ibiza. From this painting was born the idea of showing it to the public along with other creations of the same theme, giving shape to a monographic exhibition focused on the maritime landscape of the island.
Landscapes of the Ibizan coast
With that in mind, the CNSA has organized an exhibition in which Diana Bustamante presents very representative landscapes of the Ibizan coast and its islets, including some scenes of Sant Antoni. The works share a very personal color palette, with characteristic stains, mixed textures of paper and marble dust and a clearly recognizable style, located halfway between the abstract and the figurative.
The set proposes a contemporary reading of the maritime environment of Ibiza, in which the territory becomes the protagonist from an artistic point of view that connects with both the local public and those who visit the island and wish to discover it from another perspective.
