Luminescent Corals has as main inspiration the luminescent corals, dark with points of light, which are in greater depth.
It belongs to "Things from Nature" is the general theme that connects the textile sculptures of Marita Setas Ferro since 2016. It is an artistic representation of marine natural elements, sea and land elements (corals, anemones, starfish, shells) are seen through a magnifying glass and reinterpreted through textile techniques - knitting and crocheting.
Although these techniques are very traditional, the way they are applied results in an initial surprise in which there is a confrontation between the tradition present in techniques and the innovation of form, aesthetics, textures and color - and in this shock, the pieces build a dialogue with those who see them, touch and feel.
