Luis Arencibia’s deep connection to the ocean began in his youth.
As a boy, he swam to the very volcanic rock that now serves as Neptune’s throne. Decades later, his vision gave rise to this iconic sculpture, allowing the god of the sea to keep watch over his watery kingdom. Melenara Beach, with its fine volcanic sand, calm waters, and ever-present sun, serves as a fitting home for this magnificent work of art.This statue is more than just a tribute to the mythical god—it’s a symbol of Gran Canaria’s heritage. It reflects the islanders’ relationship with the sea, shaping their history, culture, and daily lives. Visitors to Melenara Beach can marvel at this timeless creation while soaking in the peaceful surroundings of a place where land and ocean meet in perfect harmony.
Luis Arencibia, a native of Telde, Gran Canaria, was the son of muralist José Arencibia Gil. Beyond his artistic legacy, Arencibia was deeply involved in Spain’s political transformation during the 1970s, contributing to the opposition against the dictatorship. His life and work reflect a blend of artistic genius and a commitment to social change.
