Eduardo Chillida’s life is a journey full of questions that led him to build a space full of poetry. The work of the Basque sculptor is as forceful as it is light, the work of a man who had the curiosity of a child in the face of the unknown and who was never satisfied with what had already been achieved. That is why knowing the steps and concerns that motivated him helps to confront his work on an equal footing. From his love for the sculpture of Pheidias to his break with the white light of Greece, Eduardo Chillida’s life is an ode to the unknown, to what is yet to come, to what happens to a man in front of his work.
