ANDORRA ~ Seven Poets - Andorra la Vella ~

... Lovely view of a famous artwork “Seven Poets", created by the Catalan sculptor Jaume Plensa...  the sculptures are perched atop 10-meter translucent pillars in Plaça de la Lídia in front of the government building in Andorra la Vella, Andorra's capital... the work consists of 7 large-format fiberglass men represent both poets and the seven administrative divisions of the country... they symbolize a silent, global dialogue between poets and are meant to promote calm and reflection amid the busy city... they are especially impressive at night when they are lit with many colors... a very unusual composition, opened in 2014...Thanks a lot Josep&Assumpta! ♥(ˆ⌣ˆԅ) 





Jaume Plensa born 1955 is the most prominent Catalan sculptor, designer and engraver. Best known for his depictions of the human face through sculpture and innovative technology. He has also created opera sets, video projections and acoustic installations.


His work is found in public spaces and major museum collections worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas, Texas.
