The sacred space of Jorge Oteiza

Jorge Oteiza’s sculpture and thought find their origin and roots in the deepest and most primitive identity and culture of his native land. In fact, his work cannot be understood in all its complexity without taking into account his relationship with the Basque Country and the delicate historical context in which it developed. After some years dominated by a kind of cultural lethargy, the Basque country urgently needed to find a revulsive that would bring back the splendor of past times.
