The reason for the creation of this sculpture is the 5th Centennial of the city of La Laguna. Although the artist was given freedom to create the sculpture, José Abad initially wanted to sculpt a 12-meter-high Guanche. Finally, the size was reduced to 6 meters from head to toe. For the base, the artist used “osceonite”, a stone of volcanic origin and the only precious stone endemic to the islands. Abad found this stone in a ravine in Candelaria. The location was decided based on a famous Guanche battle in which Mencey Bencomo was the protagonist. Abad did not work alone, his sister (a painter) and his nephew (historian) helped him. The artist worked on the clay sculpture for 2 months and the Bronzo company made the plaster mold and finally finished it in bronze. A clear influence is the warriors of Ricca, in southern Italy. Since the year of its creation, the sculpture has not undergone any modifications. |

It is a symbolic monothematic garden dominated by sculpture. Because of this, there is no excessively tall or leafy tree that can reduce visibility to the guanche or roundabout. The flora and trees surrounding the sculpture are part of a typical Canarian vegetation: dragon tree, palm tree, tabaiba, tera etc. The garden consists of different useful elements. One of them is the artificial plant that saves water and reduces its drag. In addition, as the roundabout is not accessible to pedestrians, it is difficult to realize that the cd is artificial, so it does not affect aesthetics and also saves treatment and maintenance costs. Another useful element is the pedrapl that has the function of a waterbreaker to prevent the dragging of stones and dirt. |
