Libélula by Chiqui Díaz

Yesterday evening I popped over to the opening of the La Libélula Art & Gastronomy week. I was particularly keen on seeing the dragonfly (libélula) sculpture by Chiqui Díaz, as I have always loved his caracol on calle Puente & Pellón. I was also impressed by his Tío Pepe sculpture, which won a competition to grace the Rotunda Tío Pepe in Jerez. So imagine how thrilled I was when it turned out that not only was the dragonfly going to be on display, but Chiqui was going to assemble it right then and there. So I got into a “front row” position and proceeded to watch the show. I am totally in love with this sculpture and think it would look amazing on my rooftop terrace.
