📖 A dialogue across time through nature

Fernando Prats' intervention unfolds within the Romanesque collection rooms through works creating subtle parallels across distant eras. Using gravity or the beating wings of birds, the artist registers universal movement, weaving landscapes that bring out the hidden geometries in Romanesque art.

Along this itinerary, the project explores nature as an artistic subject and portrays painting as a deep, stratified sedimentation of human experience.
