Lomon Contemporáneo is an Artist Residency in the Hecho Valley (Spanish Pyrenees), where every summer four artists from different disciplines come together with the common goal of paying tribute to the culture and traditions of the area.
In my case, I was selected to create a sculpture from limestone that had been left behind in the 1980s, after the Sculpture Symposia organized by sculptor Pedro Tramullas between 1975 and 1984.
Of the 30 sculptures that exist in the valley, 4 are by women. I am the 5º female sculptor to carve stone in the Valley and I feel very honored to do so. — To contribute diversity and to continue the artistic sculptural legacy in stone, which has been predominantly male.
Al Raso is a project in which I propose working outdoors, free of obstacles, focused solely on large-format stone for a month.
As part of the residency, I offered a sculpture workshop for children from the local community and an artist talk.
