Caracola IV

Artist

Juan BordesEspana · b. 19485 works in the park

In 1999, the work of one of the most outstanding protagonists of contemporary Canarian sculpture, Juan Bordes, was installed in Puerto del Rosario and became part of the city's heritage. Caracolas, which is the title of the work, made of patinated aluminum and divided into four pieces, was installed in a very original way on the breakwater of the Wharf, next to Avenida Marítima. The importance of this sculptor, and the significance of the work he created, deserves even greater attention, both in its conservation and maintenance, as well as in providing access for the public interested in contemplating it. The representation of these large-scale mollusks emphasizes Puerto del Rosario's connection with the sea.
