"Seven poets", sculptures by Plensa.

Monuments

A set of sculptures that the Barcelona artist Jaime Plensa calls "Seven poets" was deployed in the Principality of Andorra, with the illusion that inhabitants and visitors raise their gaze instead of lowering it and also stop inside themselves and others, as the pieces have translucent backgrounds and can change color. Plensa explains it this way: "Beauty and the solution are inside each one of us, but they are hidden and it is hard for us to find them". The pieces are seven human figures of between 2 and 3 meters. They were seated at a height of 12 meters, looking towards the mountains of the site. The translucent background produces the color changes during the night. For Plensa, this results in a permanent "conversation" between the figures because, he said, each color is an expression of a different inner state. He hopes that this contrasts with the routines of modern life, which are not prone to reflection, inner search and a serene look to the future.
