FocusOn 1.69: Santi Tur aka @atfunk on Instagram

.

Instagram is a great place for creative and talented people to express themselves.

Every week, Instagramers.com wants to help you  discover surprising, known and unkown users. People who are addicted to Instagram and who tell us about their lives, revealing their passions and sharing some of their best Instagram tips.  Today’s “Focus On” takes us to Ibiza!

.

Ibiza is a lot of things to a lot of people.  It is a cosmopolitan island which is known as the white island because of the many white house’s that dominate the landscape.  It is also known as the party capital of the world because of its amazing atmosphere which has a lot to do with the fact that seven of the most popular clubs in the world have chosen Ibiza as their home.  Ibiza is also the cradle of “Chillout” culture that wraps you gently with its soft Jose Padilla style beats.

But Ibiza is also about nature, sea, tranquility and serenity of secret and beautiful coves and beaches, fishermen, rich marine life.

.

Today’s Focus On features Santi Tur, better known as @atfunk on Instagram.  His pictures are an ode to that calmer, more natural and serene side of the Island.  A look through his Instagram Pics will make you want to discover this less raved (never better said…) side of Ibiza.

In as much as you are getting into the Ibiza mood, we also invite you to check out our Instagramer community’s account on @igersibiza, which is pretty much in tune with @atfunk’s vision of this paradisiacal island…

Introducing: @atfunk!Statigram – Instagram webviewer

.

I am Santi Tur @atfunk on Instagram.  I am all about trying to show some of the more unknown and less travelled areas of my island, my home, Ibiza. My work mainly revolves around Mediterranean autochthonous nature & beaches. By applying colors and textures in my work I try to achieve a certain retro and almost unreal atmosphere with flora, sunsets, underwater scenes and secret corners.
