The Alcudiamar Marina today hosted the presentation of the exhibition "Passió pels vaixells", by the painter Pedro Mesquida. In addition to the artist himself, the event was attended by the Alcudia Councillor for Culture, Àngela Amer, accompanied by other councillors from the Mallorcan town council, as well as the APB representative in Alcudia, Miquel Espinosa, and the CEO and President of Alcudiamar, Bartomeu Bestard.
Pedro Mesquida is a painter born in Palma, who showed an interest in the plastic arts from an early age. With academic and professional training in Fine Arts and architecture, his collaboration in some projects of the famous artist Ben Jakober, such as "Mazzocchio" and "Leonardo's horse", stands out.
Mesquida expresses in his work his great passion for the sea. In his pieces, the Mallorcan llaut and light are the protagonists of this look at the Balearic Mediterranean.
In the words of Bartomeu Bestard, CEO and President of Alcudiamar, "as lovers of the sea that we are, and as precursors of a nautical tourism that must go hand in hand with affection and respect for the environment, we must support artistic and cultural initiatives that demonstrate this. The Mediterranean Sea is part of our idiosyncrasy and our culture, and what better way to demonstrate this than through painting".
The exhibition will remain open until September 1st at the Botel Alcudiamar.
