Location

The "Haveráguas" panel is integrated into the contemporary environment of Parque das Nações, an area of Lisbon known for its modern architecture and its ample spaces by the Tagus River. Its location contributes to the experience of those exploring this part of the city, offering a point of cultural interest in a revitalized urban setting.

A Legacy of Expo '98

This tile panel was an artistic creation designed specifically for Expo '98, the world event that significantly shaped this area of Lisbon. It thus represents a permanent testament to the vision and innovative spirit of the exhibition that marked the turn of the millennium in the Portuguese capital.

Surrealist Expression

The work "Haveráguas" is a manifestation of the genius of Roberto Matta, considered one of the last great exponents of surrealism. This tile panel carries the unmistakable signature of the Chilean artist, with its shapes and colors inviting interpretation and reflection on the language of art. Its notable dimensions, 6.54 meters by 4 meters, ensure it does not go unnoticed.

A Cultural Gift

The presence of this artistic piece in Lisbon is the result of a donation from the Government of Chile to Parque Expo '98. This gesture highlights the international dimension of the work and its value as a contribution to the enrichment of the city's public heritage, underscoring the connection between cultures through art.
