Cesar Manrique (1919-1992) was born in Arrecife, Lanzarote, an island on which his career has left indelible marks.
Cultivator of various creative languages: sculpture, painting, urban design, public art ...- underlying all of his artistic output is a manifest desire to integrate with the natural environment. Syncretic purpose and totalizer - total rte, in his words- that he made explicit in his designs of public spaces. A harmonization effort, in short, not only refering to his passion for beauty, but also for life.
The seven resorts of Art. Culture and Tourism of Lanzarote are the purest Lanzarote legacy of the artist Cesar Manrique.
