Ricardo Cárdenas

Exhibition Opening and Concert: Esculturas en libertad

Segovia 2019, 

The sculptor has designed a series of sculptures for Huerta de Félix Ortiz, which have been placed around the garden, creating a path which represents the footprint of the Colombian Amazonian jungle deforestation. He uses techniques of his own with metals, plastics and woods, and his structures are covered with paint. Through the geometry in his works, he wants to raise awareness about how we can reverse the harmful effects caused to nature by deforestation. His sculptures are composed by complex manufacturing processes from the first phase of the pieces to the last finishing touch of the materials.

At the launch of this exhibition, a lyrical concert will be presented by Fundación Prosegur, in collaboration with Fundación Albéniz, in which students from Escuela de Música Reina Sofía will perform.

On Saturday 21st at 5pm, there is a guided visit with the artist for the Caro y Cuervo Institute.

Event in Spanish.
