As a result of the information published by El Día in its edition about the appearance of these ceramic pieces, the news spread like wildfire among the clusters, which made it possible to locate the parents of the heads, which were first three and finally found a fourth next to the breakwater of the beach. It is an artistic project entitled The deep inspiration of the Belarusian plastic creator Denis Siniauski and the sculptor Román Hernández, professor of Sculpture and Exhibition Projects at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of La Laguna.
Román Hernández himself specified that the sculptural group consists of seven heads in total, although due to the complexity of the transfer to Las Teresitas beach, they took only four on Thursday of last week and placed them at a depth of about five or six meters. with the intention, precisely, of withdrawing them another day this week. The time pressure and the difficulty of assembly and transfer prevented the Sculpture teacher from removing it on the same day August 19, since he had scheduled a trip to Fuerteventura, from where he returned last Wednesday with the intention of picking up the pieces.
Upon seeing the publication of the information, in which he realized that the pieces were guarded by the Historical Heritage Commission of the Cabildo de Tenerife, the artist made the appropriate contacts to communicate his authorship and yesterday he was scheduled to collect the four heads.
Román Hernández specifies that these seven works make up the project Deep inspiration, with which both he and the Belarusian artist Denis Siniauski participated in the competition for the selection, promotion, execution and dissemination of cultural projects that Canarias Cultura convened on August 30 of last anus.
This initiative was admitted to the program and was pending funding, although the project is currently in the development phase, even after various national and international institutions, both public and private, have taken an interest.
The authors of Deep Inspiration explain their artistic concept that motivates the elaboration of these heads, life-size, in stoneware and fired at 1,250 degrees. Regardless of gender, age, nationality, religion … we all breathe constantly. Breathing is giving and it is receiving. Breathing is what unites us. And under these premises, once the mysterious heads had been made, their authors took them to unique enclaves of nature, from the Cañadas del Teide National Park to the Anaga Rural Park to carry out a photographic session; precisely the report on the beach of Las Teresitas was his last station. «For us, deep inspiration is always receiving a new sip of information. We breathe the air of our planet, saturated with everything that happens in the world. The wind brings particles of joy and pain from different parts of the earth. This air, during its flight, is mixed, collected and absorbed into smells and information from different places. This air brings indications that, somewhere, perhaps, far away, there is something to see, hear, touch, feel in the vicinity. It is obvious that it is a kind of motivation for a new journey into the unknown, to explore and expand knowledge and feelings. They are always new discoveries. As unusual was the discovery of the heads “seen at the bottom of the sea by a bather – others say that by divers, who were cleaning the beach bottom – last Monday and that the Red Cross handed over to the Historical Heritage of the Cabildo”, he said. a spokeswoman for the NGO.
“The fourth head found was almost attached to the jetty, while works three were about 20 meters away, so it is a bit more complicated to extract it,” he added.
The Belarusian artist and the sculptor and professor of Fine Arts explain that «we place our sculptures for a certain time in different places in nature and in different conditions, we move them around the world, they are installed in mountains, fields, forests, on the banks of rivers and at the bottom of the oceans. These sculptures absorb energy from the clean and truly strong places on our planet. We are seeing how the characteristics and forms of my works, both figurative and abstract, change ”.
«The most interesting part of this exhibition and research project is the analysis of how the history and trajectory of each sculptural work will develop. Where will each of the works go? How far will each one travel from their place of creation in Santa Cruz de Tenerife? And what will happen to each of them? We believe they will go a long way. For now, the fortuitous appearance at the bottom of the sea of Las Teresitas has led them to monopolize headlines even before the project has been embodied, a story that bears the signature of Denis Siniauski, a native of Belarus and born in 1975, and the realejero Román Hernández (1963), who for three years has directed the Desván Blanco Cultural Space, in the capital of Tenerife.
