Exhibited during Valencia Biennial. 2020 in San Pio V Fine Arts Museum.
It talks about the human ability to understand the entire Cosmos. It is an image of the human conscience of understanding the totality of reality in a global, philosophical and existential sense, as proposed by the Greek thinkers. I have chosen a woman’s head in homage to Hypatia of Alexandria as an example of intelligence and superior intellectual capacity.

Goals

The sculpture was part of a sculpture exhibition within the Valencia Biennial. The works served to reflect on the sculpture and created a dialogue with the architecture, the Renaissance courtyard of Ambassador Vich, created in 1525 in the city of Valencia, ambassador of Ferdinand the Catholic in Rome. It is one of the first Renaissance buildings in the Iberian Peninsula, a style that was introduced from Valencia.

Process

throughout all the Valencia C.V.O biennials. I have participated as an artist in different locations in the city: museums, institutions and exhibition halls. in this case in the Renaissance courtyard of the Museum of Fine Arts of Valencia. It was decided that the center of the patio, open to the outside, would be given over for me to exhibit my sculpture, since due to its dimensions and materials it was prepared for this location, being the central axis of the exhibition.

Additional Information

The sculpture was not acquired by the institution since it was only a temporary exhibition, but during the time it was exhibited it received numerous visits and received many expressions of interest and admiration. Later the work was in the MACVAC, Vilafamés museum, and in the JPB ART art gallery in Saint-Tropez, France.
