The Museo Tiflológico presented 'Sensualidad musical en el espacio,' an exhibition featuring 13 sculptures by César Montaña, which was on display from October 10 to November 23, 2013. Montaña's work in this exhibition was deeply influenced by music, an art form that served as a significant source of inspiration throughout his life. He skillfully humanized music in his pieces, forging a close connection between the musician and the instrument, resulting in works described as both poetic and highly rational. The exhibition also highlighted Montaña's exploration of dance, which he used to interpret cadence, rhythm, and movement in sculptural form. For these works, the artist primarily utilized bronze and wood.
