Protur delicARTessen

This past 29 September, the Protur Biomar Gran Hotel & Spa kicked off its delicARTessen, a fusion culinary series that brings art and gastronomy together and that will continue to be held in the upcoming months with different featured stars. Under the name “mAridaR senTidos” (roughly, “mARrying The senses”), the hotel exhibition space held the first celebration of this series. That night, the Michelin star chef Tomeu Caldentey prepared a menu inspired on the works of painter Jim Bird, expressing through food the op-art and geometrical abstraction styles that characterise the works of this British artist with a studio in Santa Maria. A whole experience of flavours and sensations.
Jim Bird was a British painter who settled in Mallorca in the late 20th century and made the acquaintance of the great artists of his time, including Tápies, Rafols Casamada, Guinovart and Mompó, establishing genial friendships with them.
