Sculptures-Fountain

One of the main characteristics of the building where the fountains are located is undoubtedly the clearly symmetric arrangement of its terraces, which adjoin the golf course as if they were a continuation of this almost natural open space.

Based on this, I proposed two sculptures-fountains of great formal simplicity, in black granite. The two are almost identical except for their surfaces. One is concave and the other convex, out of which water flows like a spring. Both spherical surfaces could fit together, thus suggesting a play of symmetries and opposites.

The two primary elements, water and stone, feature opposing symbols: water, which is the symbol of life in continuous transformation, of mutation, of what is perishable, of the flow of time; and stone, the symbol of stability, permanence and immobility.

The idea was to help to create an intimate and private space, an interior landscape that would be an invitation to relaxation and contemplation, prompted by the almost hypnotic fascination of water in continuous movement. This resource was used with great intelligence and moderation by the Oriental and Arab cultures whose important legacy we have seemingly forgotten.
