It is not that the Dragon has no impact, but rather that the impact is positive. A place where we can experience the satisfaction of repositioning ourselves as an essential part of the natural world. Everything in the Dragon, down to the last detail, has a fundamentally ecological inspiration and respect for nature.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In reality, El Drag\u00f3n de la Calderona can be considered a work of \u201cLand Art\u201d and \u201cArt Brut\u201d architecture inspired by a biodynamic philosophy.
Marmentini says: “In creation, if a sculpture breaks, fixing it is deceiving oneself. It is pretending that it was never broken, instead of honestly living the experience of the breakage so that it can be transformed into something that would never have been if it had not suffered that accident.<\/p>\n

This is also true of my Dragon. I made the wound caused by an old quarry in the Sierra Calderona my own as soon as I saw it. And I quickly realized that I wanted to turn that tear into the Mother Beast that I visualized as a way to heal it. At that moment, the process began of setting in motion a whirlwind of beings or beasts, children of the mother beast, who have been waiting in the stones for millions of years until I release them by sculpting them. In this way, they take shape to direct the evolution of a generous space that is respectful of our ecosystem.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
