ā€œYes, all of this is from the sea.ā€

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."

ā€œPlastic Poetryā€ 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."

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.
