The University of Navarra wishes to express its sorrow and regret at the death of the versatile Basque artist Néstor Basterretxea, author of the sculpture "From Plane to Space", created on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the School of Engineering -Tecnun. Basterretxea worked side by side with several professors of the School to achieve the result of the work located at entrance of the campus of the University of San Sebastian. In the reflections that he makes in the video that was made on the occasion of the inauguration of the work, he emphasizes how for him, the circle is the perfect form that brings him closer to the sacred and connects with the circular stele. His closeness, affection and kindness were constant throughout the creative process. Basterretxea, at the end of the interview, tells the members of the University of Navarra, with great humility, to take advantage of what they are receiving and to be good people.

Rest in peace.
