Sunlight will slowly drift over the seamless stone walls, encompassing visitors in a silent shine to humanity. This cavernous space was the vision of Basque artist Eduardo Chillida (1924-2002). The actualization of his monumental work of art has been fraught with environmental, historical preservation and construction concerns. Today things are back on track and the Chilida Tindaya cavern is poised to be one of the most impressive achievements of contemporary art.
