Circle Art Programs

Circle Pro Art brings together all the Art Programs of  SM Pro Art developed and directed by Andrea Juan and Gabriel Penedo Diego. 

We live and work in Cantabria, in the north of Spain.

Cantabria is a wonderful land where people have lived for more than 150,000 years. Previous human species such as Neanderthals inhabited these lands, until about 40,000 years ago the modern human being, Homo sapiens, of our same evolutionary species, arrived.

Our ancestors found in this land an idyllic place, with sea, valleys, mountains and rivers in which to hunt, fish and collect fruits and, in addition, caves ... many caves where to live and shelter from the inclement weather and the last ice age.

From the beginning, they have wanted to show their lives, tell their experiences and express their wishes. One of those women, or men who loved their habitat, observed it with admiration and adored it, decided that they needed and wanted to leave their mark and tell, to those who followed them along the way, their story ...

That first person looked for the elements, generated the pigments, elaborated the tools, selected the space, observed the surroundings in detail, decided that he or she wanted to capture, went into the depth and darkness of a cave and, once there, in an uncomfortable position, she or he created.
Creating means making something out of nothing.

That person, and those who followed him/her in the incoming millennia, have used his/her footprints, then symbols and then animal shapes, expressing themselves through engravings, drawings, paintings, and movable art objects.
In these works, we can see his/her traces, hands, strokes and passion.

The origin of art is what guides us in our art in nature programs.
Paleolithic art as a reference for a new beginning and nature as the starting point to achieve it.
We take Paleolithic art as a reference for a new beginning and nature as the starting point to achieve it.

It is always a good time to start, restart, explore changes, look for new languages, or simply step out of our comfort zone.

This is our mission, as well as in Art in the Origin, the Art Residence and in the Seminars, to accompany you, guide you, take care of you, and contain you in the wonderful moment of creation.

We´ll be looking forward to meeting you.
