Meandros II

Mexican artist Carlos Monge left this work in the capital following the VIII Puerto del Rosario Sculpture Symposium in 2014. Made from Novelda marble, it is relatively small compared to others, several meters high, that the artist has left in the capital municipality. Located on Primero de Mayo, the sculpture describes a sort of hollow oval that resembles a kind of cloud. A cloud fallen from the sky whose silhouette describes waves that fill it with movement and sponginess, as if the marble, in the artist's hands, had turned to cotton. He doesn't even conceive his work as a voluminous mass, but hollow, empty, through which the wind can slip and play while trying to carry it away as it does with the clouds in the sky, not knowing that Monge's cloud, defiantly, clings to the ground with the stony strength of jasper. And it's likely that the tireless Zephyr will never triumph, but the Mexican artist has condemned it to that battle, which will be as eternal as his sculpture can be. It's almost impossible to know what exact thoughts lead an author to conceive works like this, born from the abstraction of his own imagination. But that is the spark of this form of creation: leaving in the hands of the beholder the power to decide what they are observing. Perhaps Carlos Monge's cloud is not such, but smoke that rises sinuously toward the sky. Or perhaps it is both things. A saying goes: "Low cloud and like smoke, brings much water I presume." It may be a silent prayer to bring rain to the arid lands of Fuerteventura.
