Unveiling of Carlito Dalceggio’s Multimedia Mural in Ibiza

Renowned artist Carlito Dalceggio has revealed his latest masterpiece, a 15m x 4m multimedia mural titled ‘Unseen Untouched Unknown’, created in collaboration with multifaceted projection mapping artist Oliver Allaux. The vividly colourful mural portrays elements derived from a variety of creation myths and symbols from diverse cultures including First Nations America, Africa, and Ancient Greece.

Location and Public Viewing

The mural graces the façade of Club Chinois Ibiza in Marina Botafoch, offering an artistic spectacle to clubbers, locals, and tourists alike. Featuring intricate layers of colour, words, and harmonising elements, the mural comes to life through video mapping techniques.

Message of Hope and Peace

Club Chinois, in conjunction with art curators SmithVaitiare, earnestly hopes that this mural will serve as a source of inspiration for both the residents of Ibiza and its visitors. This piece of public art aims to deliver a message of hope and peace, enhancing the island's reputation as a global beacon. The vibrant work projects Carlito’s beautiful message around the world.

Artistic Intentions

Vaitiare Gout Fila and Elizabeth Smith of SmithVaitiare Art Curators and Consultants expressed:

> "Our sincere wish is that this incredible work of art serves to inspire both the people of Ibiza, and visitors alike. As a piece of public art, it brings both beauty and a strong message of hope and peace. Ibiza is a beacon to the world and will emit Carlito’s beautiful message, and the intention of Club Chinois, far and wide around the planet.’"

Artistic Philosophy and Vision

Sofija Mehta, founder of Club Chinois and an avid supporter of the arts, remarked:

> "Carlito embodies all that we believe in and all that the island represents – love, beauty, transformation, and joy. To be able to share his work with the community of Ibiza is the greatest honour imaginable."

Carlito Dalceggio’s Journey

Carlito, born in Quebec, Canada to an Italian family, was a natural choice for this commission. Describing himself as a nomad, Carlito travels the world, drawing inspiration from indigenous cultures such as Native American, Masai, and Mexican communities. His work for this mural also reflects the influence of Ibiza’s vibrant colours, stunning sunsets, diverse wildlife, and unique architecture.

Embracing Ancient and Modern Techniques

Carlito eloquently explained:

> "The spirit of my work is really primitive. I paint with ancient gestures and Oliver brings the future with technology – and this, I believe, is the way to find harmony on the planet, where both can become one."

Carlito Dalceggio’s mural stands as a testament to the fusion of ancient artistic traditions and cutting-edge technology, aiming to inspire and unite people from all walks of life.
