Architecture, sculpture, music and nature in perfect armony. Peine del Viento XV is situated in Donostia- San Sebastian, Basque Country, my home town. Creating a dialogue between the sea, the mountain and the limit of the city itself this is a very special place where when visited it has some magic to it, turning into a temple.
The three sculptures of Chillida are made of steel and are perforated in the actual rocks that resist the powerful waves of the Cantabrico Sea. Such an unsual location for sculpture makes you wonder how Chillida one day figured this out on his imagination. I guess that sculpture being a human act is often more about the human rather than anything else. This sculptures integrate so well with their simplicity and strength in relation to nature that it feels like they have always been there, having nothing to do with humans.
Have a nice day.
