Plutónicas – When Stones Begin to Speak

Some exhibitions impress with their beauty… and others leave a lasting mark. Plutónicas, the latest artistic project by Gustavo Díaz in Fuencaliente, undoubtedly belongs to the latter.

Díaz – creator of the Herrumbre Vivo project – has spent years in a quiet dialogue with the land, its materials, and the memory of La Palma. His medium is not oil or canvas, but stone, the ancient material that has shaped the island’s roads, terraces, and houses for centuries.

In Plutónicas, stone takes on a new role: no longer just a building resource, but a symbol, heritage, and artistic language.

“The island is made of stone. With it we have marked our land, built our homes, and walked over it for generations. But perhaps we’ve never truly seen it for what it also is: beauty, emotion, permanence,” the artist reflects.

Sculptures that Tell Stories

Each piece in the exhibition is more than a sculpture. It is a fragment of geology telling millions of years of history: volcanic eruptions, climate changes, extinctions, and rebirths.
Díaz invites us to learn to listen to the stones, to discover what they can reveal if we ask the right questions.

A Call to Preserve

Plutónicas is not only meant to inspire—it is also a call to protect the landscape, to ensure that this unique material is never buried under cement or forgotten with time.
By being part of the Fiestas de la Vendimia, the exhibition connects art with community, celebration, and awareness.

For Locals and Visitors Alike

Visitors will leave Plutónicas with more than just the image of beautiful sculptures—they will carry the experience of having been touched by the history and spirit of La Palma.
The artist hopes that locals will feel renewed pride in their island, and visitors will take home more than a scenic memory: a solid reminder, as enduring as the stone that inspired it.
