“Yes, all of this is from the sea.”
CATERINA VICENS is a Mallorcan artist based in Barcelona who collects plastic from beaches worldwide and uses it to create beautiful and moving artworks.
The Plastic Poetry Series
"Plastic Poetry comes from the idea of condensing, in a few lines, very intense emotions, like a poem."
“Plastic Poetry” was Caterina’s debut series that laid the foundation for her distinctive artistic style and visual language
These works, both beautiful and profound, convey a sense of peace and harmony, uncovering the infinite beauty that exists in all things—even in the most undesirable."
Expeditions
Exhibitions
After three years of small expeditions across different parts of the world, observing trends, differences, and recurring patterns, Caterina now sets out on a major expedition.
Beginning on March 8, she will embark on a 80-day journey around the world, collecting plastics from the planet’s major ocean systems to create what will become her fifth collection — The most ambitious and significant to date.
