Malva Seaurchin

30x20 cm — Mixed Media (pins, volcanic lava, crab shell, and a sea urchin from Malva Beach, Lanzarote)

This piece combines natural and man-made materials to create a striking composition born from the raw energy of Lanzarote. The sharp pins pierce through fragments of volcanic lava and crab shell, converging around the central form of a sea urchin collected on the shores of Malva. The textures recall both fragility and resilience, echoing the island’s dramatic volcanic landscape and the life it sustains.

The work evokes tension and balance: the spines radiate outward like a silent explosion, yet the composition feels suspended in stillness. It speaks to the coexistence of harshness and beauty, destruction and regeneration — a reflection of Lanzarote itself, where fire and ocean meet.
