Eduardo CHILLIDA

Eduardo Chillida Belzunce (San Sebastián, 1924 - 2002). Spanish sculptor, considered one of the most important of the 20th century.

Throughout his more than fifty-year creative career, Chillida explored concepts such as void and volume, light and shadow, limit and infinity. The material from which his works were made was not an end in itself for him, nor were those austere and arcane forms so definitive of his work. Beyond matter and form, what he wanted to express through his works was an ethical, mystical and transcendental conception of existence.

"Are there limits to the spirit? Thanks to space, they exist in the physical universe and I can be a sculptor. Nothing would be possible without that murmur of limits and the space that allows them. What kind of space makes limits possible in the spiritual world?"
