“T” ROOM

The “T” room is the space where long duration exhibits are held.

It is a room that is built into the Aquarium path so the exhibits are seen as an integrated part of the visit to the Aquarium.

This space has all the facilities required for any exhibit.

Adjacent to this room, there are two classrooms that can also serve to complement any activity related to the exhibition (workshops, screenings, etc…).

Pablo Zuriarrain is a Basque sculptor whose artistic trajectory has been built upon a deep, sensitive, and intuitive relationship with natural materials. From a very young age he began working with wood, stone, and metal, developing a language closely connected to nature, a fundamental element in his life journey, as his childhood was closely linked to the forests and the Oiartzun River. His work, presented in various solo and group exhibitions, stands out for its search for beautiful forms and for a constant attention to the living character of the matter he sculpts.

On this occasion, Zuriarrain brings his creative universe closer to the maritime sphere. Wood undoubtedly maintains an intimate and ancestral bond with the world of the sea: it was a fundamental raw material for shipbuilding, an industry that was decisive in the development of the Basque people, and it also constitutes a symbolic link between our forests and our coasts. Wood also possesses a powerful metaphorical character: after storms, artificial and natural fragments — among which tree branches and trunks often stand out — arrive together on the shores, reminding us of the continuous relationship between land and ocean.

Beyond this material and symbolic dimension, Zuriarrain’s exhibition invites us to contemplate wood (and other materials) as form, as gesture, and as memory. His pieces dialogue with the lines, movements, and suggestions of the sea and water, complementing and expanding the images we all hold of them. In this way, the sculptor’s work becomes a bridge between terrestrial and maritime nature, offering us a personal, poetic vision deeply rooted in his own artistic journey.
