Artists of Mallorca
Pep Bauza Navarro
Pep Bauza (Mallorca, 1996) is a visual artist who investigates the complex intersection between nature and technology. His first steps in art were closely linked to the Mediterranean Sea, which allowed him to connect with his roots and with the inherent poetry of the natural world. Currently, the Mallorcan artist’s work has a more conceptual approach and is a bridge between the past, deeply rooted in landscapes and natural memories, and a future that is defined by the omnipresence of technology.

*We are what happens between sea urchins and stars* reflects on our place in the universe by linking the vastness of stars with the smallness of sea urchins. The sea urchin symbolizes the tangible, earthly reality (mother), while the star represents ideas and dreams (father). Humanity emerges as the connection between these elements, composed of stardust and oceanic origins.
