Sculptures

Lalín is land of artists and Art lovers. It is obvious in its streets. A good way of crossing Lalin village is discovering its sculptures. Some of them have turned into symbols of the municipality, as the dedicated one to Loriga, the aviator, or the statue of the pork.

Some of them monumental, different and discreet another ones...figuratives or abstracts, all of them have a history behind...make up your mind and come to discover it!

On a granite base, artist places a couple of kids who play leapfrog. The most tiny of them is just caught in moment in which he jumps in the air supported by the burliest.
The sculptor breaks the volume in order to take advantage of holes and of the combination of concave, convex, empty and full spaces.
We recognize simple forms of this author who chooses, as so often, children theme, with a playful sense that he likes using in its works.
Dynamism and elegance are joined forming a creation full of rythm.
