Nature is the greatest artist of all, and if you add to that the art of man, it makes a perfect combination.
Many times when I walk around the city I find art, street art, artists of all kinds, paintings in the most unexpected places. That must be why it is called the city of art.
When I chose this city to live in, I didn't know that it was the city with the most museums per capita in the world, but when I found out I was very happy. It is ideal, at least for me.
The most beautiful thing is to find works of art of importance in terms of size, execution and beauty in the middle of nature, in the middle of a park.
A sculpture museum which, according to the inscriptions, belongs to a German artist who lived here for many years and died here.
His name was Stefan Von Reiswitz and it is in this part of the Parque del Oeste that you can find the most sculptures together and admire them as a whole.
And because the park is so large, there are more sculptures in different places.
All the sculptures allude to figures from mythology and fantasy, fauns, minotaurs, unicorns and much more.
Here I even see a sewing machine and different kinds of birds on very tall columns.
The whole place you see, where most of the sculptures are gathered, is surrounded by beautiful greenery.
Walking among the sculptures and on the green grass is like walking through a fantasy world among strange but beautiful figures.
I felt as if I had been transported to a surreal world with different animals that were half human and half human, greeting me in the midst of so much nature and vegetation.
In this place there are many different species, so all year round they are in leaf change and there is always a blanket of leaves on the ground. Walking there and feeling the rustling is beautiful.
But on the other hand I always like to look at the sky and see the different postcards it offers me, sometimes only palm trees, sometimes palm trees and buildings, which I don't know if they belong to this world or to the fantasy world.
But the variety of trees is so great and of such different shades and the combination with the white of the buildings surrounding the park is so attractive, that everything becomes a great scene, maybe that's why these sculptures are here, because it's a great fantasy scene.
It is very nice to sit on a bench and admire these works, every detail is meticulously made and the size is so real that you can even chat with these creatures.
Many of them were even much taller than me, towering in the middle of nature.
The whole ensemble creates an ideal climate for a pleasant walk where not only is there plenty of oxygen and bushes of all kinds, but you can also enjoy the art, which is there at any time to be admired.
And they are not temporary works, but the sculptures belong to the park, you can visit and walk among them every day of the year while the park is open.
Once I finished this tour admiring the art on site, I continued the walk a little further and found this reminder of the 25th anniversary of the park.
I then crossed a small path that led me to these two sculptures, a lady and an animal next to them resting in the shade of a tree. The sculptures must also be resting from the intense heat and best of all the park belongs to them.
If I looked back I was flooded by nature.
It has been a beautiful walk where the whole is pure art, both natural and man-made. And it is ideal for a great walk in the open air with a lot to see and admire.
Thank you all for joining me on this Wednesday walk. Best wishes to all and see you next time.
