Merchandising
T-shirts with the design of the artist Pamen Almagro
Pamen Almagro travels around the world painting and searching for the sensations of nature in its pure state. She captures its sinuous forms, its colours, its light, its incredible complexity, as well as its simplicity and perfect harmony.
On his travels to other countries he interacts with local artists in the framework of the joint project Art in Movement and Research of the Fin Whale Project of the non-profit association EDMAKTUB, dedicated to the research and protection of cetaceans and especially of the fin whale.
With them he painted the gennaker of the research catamaran, so that his art is constantly in motion, the sail of the catamaran being its symbol of identity. In this way the art reaches sailing, research and is surrounded by its source of inspiration, nature. This year 2023 he is collaborating, without profit, with this association by designing some T-shirts with his conscience picture, which will be launched soon to raise funds for the research and protection of these incredible whales that pass by the Spanish Mediterranean coast every year.

Fin whale open mouth 20180517 DJI 0047 1:45
Fin whale swimming close to the surface, opening its mouth to feed vertically very close to the surface.
Fin whale feeding + striped dolphins 20220426 DJI 0164 2:34
Fin whale swimming close to the surface with three dolphins playing on its head. The fin whale accelerates to feed near the surface and the dolphins run away and once the fin whale has closed its mouth the dolphins swim back to the head of the fin whale.
Fin whale lunge feeding x3 krill splash 20180517 DJI 0044 6:32
Fin whale swimming close to the surface and speeding up to eat at the surface. As it goes to eat, a red spot can be seen, it is krill jumping out of the whale’s mouth, trying to escape. This feeding dynamic is observed twice more in the video, which ends with a close-up of the whale’s last breath.
Fin whale feeding twice 20220508 DJI 0298 3:05
Fin whale swimming at the surface and feeding near the surface on two occasions. The water is transparent and allows to see perfectly the dynamics of acceleration, how it opens its mouth and how it filters the water afterwards.
Fin whale x3 20210503 DJI 0106 1:51
Three fin whales swimming side by side near the surface. The whale on the right opens and closes its mouth, partially filling the dewlap.
