Endless Forest

Conceptual garden design inspired by Rubén Fdez. Castón for Blanca Soto Arte Gallery, presented at the 2019 Affordable Art Fair Milan. Geometry, abstraction, and colour are reflected in concentric circles surrounding the sculptor’s work, echoing three artistic periods.

The garden consists of three concentric rings around a circular platform holding seven totems. A Jacaranda forest is reflected in a water sheet, all framed by a perfect square with a Laurus nobilis hedge. Visitors enter through seven ‘step-frames’ forming a path, a geometric metaphor for the artist’s evolution toward the verticality represented by the central totems. The path is lined with cypress trees, seven on each side.

The central ring features a blue crown of Jacarandas (Jacaranda mimosifolia), providing colour, height, protection, and CO₂ absorption. The outermost ring is represented abstractly by three segments, echoing the artist’s latest works moving toward abstraction.

This collaboration between artist and landscape designer merges their shared passion for colour and geometry. Nature provides the sculptor with iron, wood, and pigments, while plants, stones, and water allow the landscape designer to frame an abstract work in light, harmony, and balance.
