1. Queen Mariana (La Menina)
The portrait of Queen Mariana is a painting that Valdés has reinterpreted numerous times throughout his career, demystifying it, taking it out of context, and offering a new, contemporary, and relaxed vision of an artistic icon.
2. MUNCYT - National Museum of Science and Technology - Pintor Velázquez Street
The new home of the National Museum of Science and Technology in Alcobendas, MUNCYT Alcobendas, is a project that combines a collection of museums with the dissemination of science and technology. The rooms housing the collection include sections related to microscopy, cinema, photography, medicine, transportation, communications, everyday technology, and Spanish innovation.
3. Streaker Flat Sculpture - Author Anthony Caro - Parque de Andalucía
Anthony Caro rejected traditional modeling and sculpting techniques, as well as the use of pedestals. By placing welded metal sculptures directly on the ground, he introduced a revolutionary perspective into three-dimensional art.
4. Braga Circle Sculpture - Author Richard Long
Richard Long's works use the landscape and the most basic natural materials, such as stones, mud, grass, seaweed, and so on. They are always light, simple interventions that avoid monumentality and are often ephemeral. They do not aim to provoke major changes, but only to leave a mark, a trace, a sign. A circle of red stones marks the chosen spot.
5. Untitled Sculpture - Author Rui Sanches
The thin sheets of steel accumulate to form shapes, gently revealing the figure. Each sheet is designed and worked one by one, in a slow construction process in which the sculpture is built from the bottom up, following the geometric layout on some sides and sinuous organic forms on others.
6. The Atomic Anthill Children's Play Area
The central attraction, unique in Spain and the third largest in Europe, is a metal wall simulating an anthill, the Wali Hola, inside which children can play and have fun. Surrounding it is a network of paths that mimic those followed by ants on their way to the anthill.
7. Sculpture The Heart of the Trees - Author Jaime Plensa
Comprised of seven sculptures, seven bronze bodies, as many as musical notes, each embracing a cypress tree. The human figure is the protagonist of his work; each one is unique and unrepeatable, but forms part of a society, a culture.
