The International Sculpture Symposium in Andalusia, Spain, and ISSA Spain, was held in Hilena from
October 16-29, with artists from China, Italy, Brazil and Turkey attending the event, and it is worth
mentioning that Andalusia is also the hometown of Picasso, who was born in Malaga, Andalusia.
The sculptors who participated in the event were Liu Yang from China, Claudia from Italy, Jorge
from Brazil and Nihan from Turkey, who used locally produced white marble to create public sculptures
of 1.5-2 meters, and the finished sculptures were displayed in the local Coleccion Museum, and will
be placed in the city's public spaces in the future, becoming an important cultural heritage of the city.
The artist expresses his great honor to build the sculpture in Picasso's hometown, and also pays tribute
to Picasso and Spanish art with this sculpture.
The sculpture symposium in Hilena is held every two years and the finished sculptures are placed in public
spaces in the city. The city is famous for its marble and olives, and part of Seville's famous cathedral is made
of marble from Hilena, and the camp is organized to promote the local stone culture.
