An exhibition turns El Retiro into a journey between art and literature
Madrid adds a new free cultural plan in Parque de El Retiro with the exhibition Moby Dick. The Dream of Captain Ahab, open until 26 April at Casa de Vacas. The exhibition offers an artistic reinterpretation of the literary classic in the heart of the city.
The project, by Esteban Ruiz, connects contemporary painting, literature and environmental reflection. Through his works, the artist revisits the figure of the white whale and Captain Ahab’s obsessive journey from a contemporary perspective.
The pieces stand out for their visual power and for their use of textures and volumes, inspired by the artist’s personal experiences at sea. The exhibition works as a kind of voyage that blends narrative, symbolism and emotion.
The exhibition is designed for a broad audience and can be visited every day during continuous opening hours. Free admission makes it an accessible option on the city’s cultural agenda.
Located in the heart of Retiro, the proposal fits easily into a walk through the park, especially in spring, when the surroundings invite visitors to combine nature and culture.
For those looking for relaxed plans in Madrid, this exhibition offers more than an artistic visit. It is a way to slow down, connect with the surroundings and rediscover everyday places from another perspective, in a city that increasingly combines culture and outdoor life.
