Location

Situated on the hillside of Monchique village, in the area known as Ceiceira, Bongard Garden is within walking distance of the town centre. Its position, slightly set back from the main hustle and bustle, offers a more tranquil environment, blending naturally into the Algarve mountain landscape.

A Space of Art and Nature

This venue hosts an extensive garden dedicated to sculptural art, where the works of artists Tara and Sylvain organically integrate into the natural environment. As visitors walk its paths, they discover various pieces that interact with the vegetation and landscape elements. The curation of the space seeks to create a cohesive experience between artistic expression and the surrounding environment, inviting contemplation of forms and materials.

Atmosphere and Inspiration

Bongard Garden was conceived as a refuge of creativity and serenity. It is characterized by a harmonious fusion of the exotic and the rustic, visible in its fresh patios, filled with diverse plants and small ponds. The space also includes a tropical greenhouse, which enriches the botanical diversity present. This environment inspires calm and, at times, allows observation of the work process in the open studio, providing insight into what motivates the creation of the exhibited pieces.
