Jorge Castro Flórez: When Forms Speak

Starting November 2nd, we will be exhibiting works by Jorge Castro Flórez in the sculpture garden. The artist passed away in 2011; the exhibition is a collaboration with Coral Pastor, director of the private collection of his art.

Jorge Castro Flórez strove to give form and presence to life by conveying its anguish and joy in his sculptures. Not only bronze, but also materials such as marble, clay, copper, and iron yielded to his inexhaustible inspiration.

The biography of Jorge Castro Flórez is interwoven with many life experiences, but above all with the wonder and long journeys of his youth and the path he walked with his inseparable companion Micheline Bermúdez. For a long time, he used to bury his hands in plaster to sketch images of everything that bothered him or that he loved to dream about.

In addition to the temporary exhibition, two of Jorge's sculptures are also on display in our permanent exhibition. On the website about the artist you can find more information about his life and work.

The exhibition's festive opening will be held on Sunday, November 2nd at 11:00 AM, with snacks, a glass of wine, and guitar music. Admission is €5, and the exhibition runs until Sunday, January 7th.

Welcome in the garden!
