To walk, to be in motion, clears the mind and shifts perception.
Taking the same path, yet discovering it new each time.
The passage of time, the seasons, and the people offer us new perspectives.
Nietzsche, Kant, and Beethoven were obsessive walkers.
Aristotle taught while walking.
Art Walk: a living walk where sculpture and landscape become one.
The Art Walk begins with a 5.2 meter-tall horse in lapacho wood by artist Federico Benites.
Which we've named Xanthos: an inmortal horse, gifted with the power to speak in the face of the inevitable.
A child of the wind, in Greek mythology he was given by the gods to Achilles - a symbol of foresight and prophecy.
His presence does not belong to this time: he neither remembers nor anticipates - he simply is.
In his stillness, he reminds us that there are forces - and questions - that require no answer.
Only to be contemplated.

Step Two on our Art_Walk: Dama Luna by Verónica Artagaveytia.
Verónica’s work invites a quiet, profound connection with nature - with birdsong, wind, water, and the elemental forces that surround us. Dama Luna sits in the water, surrounded by aquatic plants, as shifting light moves gently across its surface.
With its Joyful Femenine Shapes, rounded volumes, and generous lines, Dama Luna celebrates feminine strength, harmony, and our deep connection to the natural world.
