SCULPTURE. NATURE. SILENCE. 🌿

En Chillida Leku, el arte no se contempla solo: se recorre, se respira y se integra en el paisaje.

Escultura, naturaleza y silencio en equilibrio. ✨

--

Chillida Lekun, artea ez da begiratu bakarrik egiten: zeharkatu, arnastu eta paisaian integratzen da.

Eskultura, natura eta isiltasuna, orekan. ✨

--

At Chillida Leku, art is not only observed: it is walked through, breathed in and experienced as part of the landscape.

Sculpture, nature and silence in balance. ✨

--

À Chillida Leku, l’art ne se contemple pas seulement : il se parcourt, se respire et s’intègre au paysage.

Sculpture, nature et silence en équilibre. ✨
