1,30h1. Udane Juaristi. Gladys (2022)
Udane Juaristi (1985). A painter and muralist from Azkoitia, this Gipuzkoa artist is one of the big names on today's scene. Her career has included both individual and collective exhibitions at a number of local, state and international art galleries, she has won many awards, and has also featured at international art fairs such as Justmad.
The Azkoitia artist's work is inspired by several natural features of the Cristina Enea park's ecosystem.
Udane found inspiration in fauna and flora around the park and the river, due to the location of this piece in Cristina Enea and Urumea. The Azkoitia artist's non-explicit posture is that she also forms part of this ecosystem through her work, which will live on in this space next to its natural surroundings.

2. Reskate: María López & Javier de Riba. Bakoitza bere garaian
Reskate is Minuskula (María López - 1980) and Javier de Riba (1985), two artists from Donostia and Barcelona respectively. They have a long trajectory as a muralist team, and their work has graced the walls of many European cities.
The translation of Bakoitza bere garaian is "each thing in its own time", by way of a reflection on rural life and harvests etc., in connection with the mural's surroundings, and in some way their work also singles out the importance of those who work the land with their own hands.
