2024 - HAL Oosterdam Cruise - 109 of - Punta Arenas, Chile - 14 of 55 - Circunnavegación Sculpture

            Circunnavegación Sculpture on the waterfront in Punta Arenas.

21 October, 2020 was 500 years since the discovery of the Strait of Magellan and this sculpture “Circumnavigation”, by  artist Francisco Gazitúa,  was unveiled to commemorate the events date.

The sculpture inspiration comes from an armillary sphere, which consists of an astronomical instrument that was used in the Middle Ages.

The sculpture is a reference to the Earth, and inside it contains a representation of the ship that Hernando de Magellan commanded, paying tribute to the trip that managed to prove that the Earth was round.

In addition, the work honors the native peoples, by recreating the Orion constellation through special lighting, very relevant to the Selknam. At the same time, it also refers to the color of the lengas during the fall.

Francisco Gazitúa ( born in Santiago, 1944) studied sculpture at the School of Fine Arts of the University of Chile between 1966 and 1970.

 In 1970 he was director of the Artisans Center of the House of Culture.

In 1977 he entered Saint Martin's School of Art in London, where he completed a Postgraduate Degree in Sculpture, the same school where he was a professor until 1985, the year in which he began to work as secretary and lecturer at the Kornaria International School of Sculpture. (former Yugoslavia).
