“Yo soy de los que piensan, y para mí es muy importante, que los hombres somos de algún sitio. Lo ideal es que seamos de un lugar, que tengamos las raíces en un lugar, pero que nuestros brazos lleguen a todo el mundo, que nos valgan las ideas de cualquier cultura. Todos los lugares son perfectos para el que está adecuado a ellos y yo aquí en mi País Vasco me siento en mi sitio, como un árbol que está adecuado a su territorio, en su terreno pero con los brazos abiertos a todo el mundo. Yo estoy tratando de hacer la obra de un hombre, la mía porque yo soy yo, y como soy de aquí, esa obra tendrá unos tintes particulares, una luz negra, que es la nuestra.”

Eduardo Chillida

“I believe, and this is very important for me, that people belong to a certain place. Ideally we should belong somewhere, like a tree that is rooted, but whose branches reach out across the world, to accept ideas from any culture. Anywhere can be perfect for someone who is adapted to it, and here in my country, the Basque Country, I feel at home, like a tree that has adapted to he soil, grounded but with its arms open to everyone. I must do the work of a man; my work, because I am who I am. And because I’m from here, this work will have its own particular tone, a black light, our light.”

Desde niño, Chillida se sentaba en ese lugar una y otra vez. Iba a contemplar como cambiaban incesantemente las olas de mar al final de la bahía de la Concha de San Sebastián, su ciudad natal. Al principio parecía un sueño inalcanzable, colocar en las estribaciones de la ciudad una escultura que comunicara con la naturaleza, un gran sueño maravilloso. Sin embargo, con los años, esa utopía se convertiría en realidad. Así fue como en 1977, su ilusión tantas veces anhelada cobró por fin vida.

El Peine del viento es una de las esculturas que colma una larga lista de monumentos públicos presentes en numerosas ciudades del mundo. La mayoría de estos proyectos públicos están vinculados directamente con el espacio circundante, e implican arquitectura, urbanismo y paisaje. Las tres piezas de acero que conforman el Peine del viento presentan ante el espectador un fantástico espectáculo. Con sus gestos expresivos desafían a los elementos de la naturaleza, los fuertes vientos del Cantábrico, la energía de olas del mar y la dureza de las rocas. Chillida concibió un lugar donde poder ir a pasear, a jugar, a meditar, o simplemente a contemplar el horizonte, el límite que separa la tierra y el cielo que el escultor definió como “la patria de todos los hombres”.

Since he was a child, Chillida sat in that placetime and time again. He watched how the sea’s waves changed incessantlyat the end of the bay of La Concha in SanSebastián, his home city. At first it seemed like a pipe dream, to install, on the edge of the city, a sculpture that would commune with nature, a great and wonderful dream. However, with time, this dream would come true. In 1977, the project he had so often wished for was finally carried out.

The Wind Comb is one of the sculptureson the long list of public monumentsthat stand in a number of cities across the world. Most of these public projects are directly related to the space that surrounds them, and they combine architecture with cityscapes and landscapes. The three pieces of steel that make up the Wind Comb offer a fantastic spectacle. With their expressive gestures, they defy the natural elements; the strong sea winds of the Bay of Biscay, the energy of the waves and the hardness of the rocks. Chillida conceived of a place where people would go to walk, play, meditate, or simply to contemplate the horizon, the line that separates the earth and sky which the sculptor defined as, “mankind’s common heritage”.

El arte está ligado a lo que no está hecho, a lo que todavía no creas. Es algo que está fuera de ti, que está más adelante y tú tienes que buscarlo.

Art forms part of what hasn’t been done yet, what you still don’t believe in. It’s something that is apart from you, in front of you; something you have to look for.

Eduardo Chillida nace el 10 de enero de 1924 en San Sebastián. En 1943 se traslada a Madrid para cursar estudios de Arquitectura, sin embargo en 1947 decide abandonar la carrera para entrar a dibujar en el Círculo de Bellas Artes. Al año siguiente, marcha a París dónde se inicia en la escultura, exponiendo una obra en el Salón de Mayo. En 1951, tras su boda un año antes con Pilar Belzunce se instala en Hernani donde descubre el hierro, y realiza su primera obra en ese material, Ilarik. Tres años más tarde, tiene lugar su primera exposición individual en Madrid en la Galería Clan y se inicia en la obra pública con las puertas de la Basílica de Aranzazu. En 1958 recibe el Gran Premio Internacional de Escultura de la 29 Bienal de Venecia, una puerta para recibir casi todos los premios existentes a lo largo de su vida, de la Bienal al Kandinsky en 1960, del Wilhelm Lehmbruck, 1966 al Kaissering alemán en 1985, del Príncipe de Asturias en 1987 al Premio Imperial de Japón en 1991. Su obra está presente en más de 20 museos de todo el mundo, y se han celebrado exposiciones en diversas ciudades como Berlín, Londres o Nueva York.

Sculptures by Chillida in museums across the world.

Eduardo Chillida was born on 10 January1924 in San Sebastián. In 1943, hewent to Madrid to begin architectural studies, although in 1947 he decided to give up his degree to take up drawing at the Círculo de Bellas Artes.The following year he went to Paris, wherehe began to produce sculptures, exhibiting one of his works in the Salón de Mayo. In 1951, one year after his marriage to Pilar Belzunce, he moved to the town of Hernani where he discovered iron and completed his first work using this medium: Ilarik. His first individual exhibition took place three years later in Madrid, in the Clan Gallery,and the same year he received his first public commission for the doors of the Basilicaof Aranzazu. In 1958 he received the International Grand Prize for Sculpture at the 29th Venice Biennale, a fore-runner to winning almost all of the prizes in existence during his lifetime, including the 1960 Kandinsky Prize, the 1966 Wilhelm Lehmbruck Prize, Germany’s Kaissering Award in 1985, the Prince of Asturias Award in 1987 and the Imperial Prize of Japan in 1991. His work can be found in more than20 museums across the world, andexhibitions have been held in several cities including Berlin, London and New York.

Public works were an important part of his artistic career, with more than40 sculptures standing in differentplaces around the world. In 1972 he created Lugar de Encuentros III, today located on Madrid’s Paseo de la Castellana, the Campo Espacio de Paz in Lund, Sweden, and Elogio de la Arquitectura II in Palma de Mallorca.In 1973 his Estela a Pablo Neruda was erected in Tehran.It was in 1976 that the Comb of the Wind XV was Installed in San Sebastián. This was followed, during the 1980s, by works including Gure Aitaren Etxea in Guernica in 1984, La Casa de Goethe in Frankfurt in 1986, Elogio del Agua in Barcelona in 1987 and De Música in Dallas in 1989. In 1990, Elogio del Horizonte was installed in Gijón, looking out to the sea, towards the unknown, and two years later the sculpture Monumento a la Tolerancia was inaugurated on the Muelle de la Sal in Seville.The year 2000 saw the opening of the Chillida-Leku Museum, currently home to a large body of his work, which constantly engages with the natural environment.Eduardo Chillida died on 19 August 2002in San Sebastián, without living to see the completion of his great dream, the Tindaya Project, a public monument in the heart of the mountains.

Durante todos estos años me he dedicado a crear alfombras que expresen algo de mí, que me identifiquen, procurando al mismo tiempo que sean bellas y sorprendentes. La creatividad y la motivación tienen un origen común: mis propias experiencias. La pasión por el arte y la admiración que me causa la naturaleza creo que definen la esencia de mi trabajo. En él, se mezcla el arte y el diseño de una manera intuitiva. Por este motivo, después de 25 años de trabajo, he querido homenajear a Chillida. Un artista de mi tiempo y de mi país que me influenció enormemente con su manera de entender el espacio. Con estas alfombras repasamos latrayectoria de sus dibujos, grabados y collages siendo fieles a su obra. Escogiendo las mejores materias y técnicas artesanales, para ofrecer la máxima calidad.

Nani Marquina

Throughout all these years I have been dedicated to creating rugs that express something of myself, that identify me, trying at the same time to make them beautiful and innovative.

I take creativity and motivation from thesame source: my own experiences.I believe that my passion for art and admiration of nature define the essence of my work. It brings together art and design in an intuitive way. That’s why, after 25 years of work, I’ve decided to pay homage to Chillida, an artist of my own time and country who greatly influenced me with his way of understanding space.

These rugs provide a faithful retrospective of his work, of his drawings, engravings and collages, using the best materials and craft techniques to offer the highest quality.
