Sendero de Esculturas Oriente (2024)
Sendero de Esculturas Oriente (Oriente`s Sculpture Path) is a linear park and a space for transit and contemplation located at the entrance to Campus Oriente of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile in Santiago. Created in 2024 by commission of Rector Ignacio Sánchez, the project seeks to integrate art and landscape through a walkable path combining sculpture, vegetation, and natural elements. Developed in collaboration with architect and landscape designer Vicente Donoso, the path features grassy mounds, reflecting pools, and areas with edible and ornamental plants, alongside ceramic, bronze, and steel sculptures by artists Paula de Solminihac, Osvaldo Peña, and Catalina Ramírez.

The path’s design emphasizes horizontality and natural materials to create an accessible sensory experience. As an urban intervention, it invites visitors to slow down and engage actively with the sculptural landscape. Conceived as a collaborative project, it involved UC alumnae artists and skilled technicians, optimizing resources while fostering collective creativity.
Sculpture Path Oriente is part of a broader vision for art in the city, promoting the integration of sculpture into the urban landscape and the development of spaces for wellbeing.
