THE ARTISTIC WORK OF JONAT DEELSTRA

Jonat Deelstra, an Amsterdam-based artist renowned for his project “Funeral home: The North Sea” seeks to support the restoration of coral reefs through his artwork. These sculptures, developed in collaboration with the European Ceramic Workcentre, University Wageningen, and Hortus Botanicus Amsterdam, serve as a symbol of the beauty and need to conserve the ocean.

A SCULPTURE AS AN ART MONUMENT

In a touching tribute last year, one of Jonat’s sculptures was symbolically dedicated to his grandfather and placed within our Kenyan reef project. It has since become a beacon for new coral growth and a sanctuary for fish. Discover the full story here.
