Mare de Déu de la Candelera

Mare de Déu de la Candelera

This location features a mural symbolizing a protective figure for fishermen, blending tradition with modernity, and celebrates a vibrant annual procession.
Through this mural, I wanted to represent the feeling of the local patroness of L'Ametlla de Mar, the feeling of a protective entity for fishermen and a guiding light in bad situations. The veneration of the virgin through the procession that is celebrated on the 2nd of February involves every year new generational entities that maintain the feeling for the entity in a secular way, this mural aims to be a link between traditions and new generations . Although iconographically it is a disruptive image with the perception and representation that Catholicism offers of the Virgin, iconologically it continues to respect her attributes such as the candle and the two doves, in this case stopping the trances of the bad sea to be able to protect the fishermen who are located in its belly.
