The intervention of the artist Fernando Prats in the Romanesque art halls is composed of a set of works that propose subtle parallels between apparently distant periods. With the aid of gravity and the beating of bird wings, the artist traces the records of universal movement. Tackling this complexity, he weaves a network of landscapes that evoke the experience of the passage of time and the rhythms of nature, highlighting the geometries hidden in Romanesque art. Bearing witness to these traces reveals a timeless connection in the themes despite the conceptual differences between periods.

In this project, curated by Gloria Moure, Fernando Prats establishes a line, an itinerary interwoven with alternative landscapes throughout the Romanesque art halls, uniting the different parts of the exhibition into a whole. Along this itinerary, the artist explores the concept of representation with nature as an artistic subject through pictorial works that develop the notion of landscape, as well as creations outside of time that vindicate the vision of painting as a deep, stratified and skilful sedimentary process that entails the contradictions inherent to human experience.
