A journey through different art expressions that we can find in nature.
Is it possible to combine art and nature? Since prehistory, humans have felt the need to express themselves through art. It began more than 6,000 years ago, painting inside the caves and leaving traces in all over the Mediterranean arc.
On this trip we will admire art in nature starting with the cave paintings of “La Roca dels Moros” in El Cogul, and those in of “La Balma dels Punts” and “La Roca dels Vaixells” in L’Albi, and we will know more curiosities about its inhabitants.
On the other hand, we will also visit two proposals of contemporany art in nature. The first one, the Path of Seven Senses, a route with sculptures made by Marta Pruna, carved in rocks or tree trunks. This itinerary is going to be held by the artist herself.
The second proposal of contemporany art in nature is located in “Mas Blanch i Jové” winery, called “Artists Vineyard”. A fusion of art, wine and nature open to everybody with art works by Josep Guinovart, Carles Santos, Joan Brossa or Susana Solano
