They allow us to reflect on and understand the role they play in the artistic creation of space and shape. It’s an experience that brings us closer to the basic elements of modern art.

Los animales de El Bosco (The Animals of Hieronymus Bosch)

by Manuel Marín

The first artist to enter the realm of fantasy was Hieronymus Bosch. He revels in the delights of pleasure. He relishes eating giant fruits, running on water and flying on top of a fish. He is joyful without even realizing it. Bosch is also aware that serenity and calmness let things be seen as they are. No one before had ever seen our feelings as we get lost in the madness of invisible realities.

Cómo construir un volcán (How to create a volcano)

by Vicente Rojo, José Emilio Pacheco, Alberto Blanco, Bárbara Jacobs, Coral Bracho, José-Miguel Ullán

This work created from drawings of volcanoes by the artist, with the collaboration of the poems of Pacheco, Bracho, Blanco, Jacobs and Millán give us clues about how to build a volcano, ink and letters. Vicente Rojo's Volcanoes are descriptive forms, which contain a deep love for the artistic profession, and reveal an external structure that speaks of the infinite complexity of the universe. They are a creative effort to unravel the mystery of volcanoes. The use of descriptive and functional forms, characteristic of Vicente Rojo's work, allows establishing an interpretive parameter, which in poetry has been reflected in mysterious and evocative ways.
