The Senderos del arte project has incorporated a new light piece into the Tibi fortress, a 10th-century monument located in the Hoya de Castalla, which activates autonomously at dusk.

The intervention, titled Constelaciones de encuentros, uses solar technology to illuminate the rock crevices and vertical walls leading to the fortress. This piece integrates into the artistic route that already features four other sculptures in significant locations within the municipality of Tibi.
The artist, with a background in Fine Arts and architecture, seeks to establish a dialogue between the monument's history and contemporary times. According to sources from the Fundación Cultural La Mácula del Tiempo, the goal is to harmonize the natural space with interventions that define the landscape's shapes and volumes through the contrast between light and darkness.

"We are looking at an artist who enjoys harmonizing natural space with interventions that must be part of an original and basic frame in their precise definition, as it is an incontrovertible and unique framework from which to argue a plastic work."

The result is a drawing of white lines that emerges on the mountain at nightfall, visible from the Mirador del Carreret. This proposal reinforces the cultural heritage of the l'Alcoià region, offering a new perspective on the relationship between contemporary art and the historical environment.
