The artist cast the Roman, mythological god, Neptune, clearly in reference to the sea and in recognition of ancient culture and history.
Here the classical patterns of aesthetics and beauty in Greek sculpture are observed by the artist, who created well-proportioned and athletic bodies in line with these ideals. According to the ancients, Neptune, in his anger, had the power to stir the waves and create violent storms, whirlpools, waterspouts and earthquakes with his trident which he holds in his right hand. In the mosaic, he is wearing a crown, has a net intertwined in his arms, and is surrounded by marine life in the form of a fish, a seahorse, and a jellyfish. Wavy lines at the bottom of the work represent the sea.

Did you know that…?

The Neptune mosaic was previously located on the seafront, but when Padrós had the house renovated and an extension added in 1968, he had the mosaic moved to its current position on the side of the house, where it can now be seen.
