the latest installation in the acclaimed Reflective Nature series, featured within the breathtaking landscapes of Sierras Subbéticas Natural Park. Located just 70 km from Córdoba, this natural haven, renowned for its striking limestone formations, ancient oak forests, and remarkable karst landscapes, served as the perfect canvas for this evocative work.

Concept Overview

Reflective Nature was a thought-provoking series that artfully integrated highly polished metal spheres into natural settings. These spheres, mirroring the environment around them, were not just art objects but symbols—highlighting the delicate and often precarious relationship between nature and human intervention. By placing these spheres in both pristine and compromised landscapes, the series invited viewers to engage in a dialogue about ecological footprints and the pressing need for environmental stewardship.

The spheres’ reflective surfaces created an immersive experience, drawing attention to the intricate interplay between ecosystems and human actions. Whether set against untouched wilderness or areas marked by environmental degradation, these installations compelled reflection on both the beauty of the natural world and the consequences of neglecting environmental responsibilities.

Exhibition Details

• Location: Sierras Subbéticas Natural Park
  Featuring key sites such as Luque, Zuheros, Priego, and Rute, the park was a geological and ecological treasure. The region’s limestone formations gave rise to extraordinary karst features, including lapiaces, dolinas, and poljes. The area was also home to diverse vegetation, with oak forests thriving on sunlit slopes and quejigares flourishing on the cooler, north-facing inclines. Notably, visitors explored the Cave of the Bats near Zuheros.

• Dates: 10th June - 8th August 2024

• Access: The park was accessible from Córdoba via the N-432 road.

By merging the realms of art and environmental activism, the Reflective Nature installation at Sierras Subbéticas Natural Park aspired to deepen connections with the natural world and galvanize a collective movement towards sustainability and ecological harmony.

This extraordinary opportunity offered an experience of art resonating with the beauty and vulnerability of the environment.
