THE STORY
FISH PRINTS starts when the artist returns to her home country, Portugal, and chooses to contribute to her community. Living by the sea, the main question was: what can art do to preserve this environment? Perhaps it can celebrate the existence of marine species and share them in a meaningful way.
Inspired by the Japanese Gyotaku technique, LUZALBA developed her own practice by adapting its fundamental elements. These adjustments led her to a stronger concept: sustainability. At this point, art become a vehicle for exploration, as an opportunity to understand more about the ocean, marine life, the fishing industry, and conscious food consumption.
Ultimately, the artist’s goal is to raise awareness through Art, while simultaneously honoring the people and natural ecosystems that sustain her creative process.
IN LOVE WITH BALI
We are a couple of nomads who used to explore the globe. The day we stepped our foot on Balinese ground one thing was clear - we fell in love. We kept coming back every few months and understood that this is a love affair for a lifetime. We fully moved here in 2018 and been exploring the island ever since. We’re excited to share what we’ve found and show you this beautiful corner of the world.
How can I begin to describe my time with Poveda... It was simply life-changing! I always imagined that Bali would be a breathtaking destination, but thanks to Poveda, I was able to not just experience the culture, but have once-in-a-lifetime memories. I got so much more than I ever anticipated from my holiday.
