Miraestels

About

MIRAESTELS, a floating icon, becomes guardian of the waters. With its watchful presence, it urges us to care for and respect the sea, the origin of known life. And it does so in the Mediterranean of encounters among ancient peoples, a sea of legends, history and culture, all of which today, cruelly punished by our excesses, is in serious danger and sends out a cry for help. MIRAESTELS staring into heaven indicate a double vigilance. From there come the great questions and great answers; no wonder the contemplation of the celestial vault has been the main engine of scientific knowledge. Science continues to declare this: our future demands reserved areas to continue studying the stars and the cosmos away from light pollution. MIRAESTELS from Robert Llimós, painter and sculptor from Barcelona, he is an excellent product of the Academy who has gone through all the avant-garde to return to the origins: painting or depicting what is seen rather than what is felt.
