Vital geometry / Geometría vital [Eng-Esp]
Last June 24th in the evening, "la cremá" took place in the city where I live. "La cremá" represents the end of the popular festivities of San Juan, known as the "Hogueras de San Juan". During the days between June 20 and 24, the works (monuments) made with wood and cork are exhibited in the streets of the city, which will be consumed by the flames on the day of "La cremá". In Catalan/Valencian, "la cremá" means "the burning" in Castilian (Spanish). This year, more than 180 monuments were burned throughout the city.
The work of the artist Pere Baenas, entitled "Vital Geometry", won the first prize in the special category. This work belonged to the Hoguera Florida Portazgo and was located at 21 Cefeo Street in the city of Alicante (Spain).
The "Vital Geometry" monument made reference to classical Greek culture, with allusions to Pythagoras, Euclid and the goddess Gaea, and included a colorful allegory that recalled the human being's eagerness to study the cosmos. A bust of Euclid, "father of geometry", was planted at its base. The wise man was reinterpreted, in bright colors, with his compass while describing a solar circle "and through his eyes begins to study the geometric figures" along with creations of Da Vinci and other geniuses.
With a height of nearly 20 m, the jury valued its complex structure, since it was supported by a single fixed point and crowned with a spectacular top with allegorical figures on the theme of mathematics and algebra.

El pasado 24 de junio por la noche, tuvo lugar "la cremá" en la ciudad donde resido. "La cremá" representa el punto final de las populares fiestas de San Juan, conocidas como las "Hogueras de San Juan". Durante los días comprendidos entre el 20 y el 24 de junio, se exponen por las calles de la ciudad las obras (monumentos) realizadas con madera y corcho, las cuales serán consumidas por las llamas el día de "La cremá". En catalán/valenciano, "la cremá" significa "la quema" en castellano (español). Este año, más de 180 monumentos fueron pasto de las llamas en toda la ciudad.
La obra del artista Pere Baenas, titulada "Geometría vital", obtuvo el primer premio de categoría especial. Dicha obra pertenecía a la Hoguera Florida Portazgo y estaba en la calle Cefeo nº 21 de la ciudad de Alicante (España).
Con una altura cercana a los 20 m, el jurado valoró su compleja estructura, ya que se sostenía con un solo punto fijo y se coronaba con un espectacular remate con figuras alegóricas al tema de las matemáticas y el álgebra.

¡Wow, que monumento más impresionante! 😍 Debe ser todo un espectáculo visual verlo en persona. Hermosas fotografías, muchísimas suerte en el concurso 😊💚
Los monumentos de categoría especial son impresionantes de ver, pero lo más impresionante es verlos arder.
¡Gracias! Lo mismo digo, ¡Suerte!
Beautiful work. Too bad it was destroyed by fire. But the show must be a thing of beauty.. Thanks for sharing these pics on The StreetArt Community.
Sorry for the delay, but the Internet was really slow on vacation... Have a nice Sunday.
No problem. I thought that since it wasn't graffiti it didn't go into curation.
Yes, 100.000 € it cost to fire. If you think about it coldly, it's a bit crazy.
Oh 100,000 euros is a lot. I'd rather see them in my bank account than go up in smoke 😀
Me too!
Keep up the good work. 👏🎵
