āArt is linked to what hasnāt been done yet, to what has not been created yet. It is something outside of you, in the future, something to search for.ā Eduardo Chillida
The artwork of Eduardo Chillida (1924-2002) represents one of the greatest artistic accomplishments of the late 20th century.
To pay homage to the artist, the Chillida collection was created based on a chronological selection of his work: Figura Humana ā 1948, Dibujo Tinta ā 1957, and Collage ā 1966, pieces that reflect the gestation process of his renown sculpture: Peine del Viento located in San SebastiĆ”n. The collection also includes one depiction of his famous hands: Mano from the ā90s, and GravitaciĆ³n from 1994.
Chillidaās artistic nuances have been faithfully translated into rugs, all handmade using various techniques and fibres, such as wool, silk, and hand-spun mohair, to create different textures, showcasing the essence of his work.
