Jaume Plensa is perhaps best known for his public sculptures. At the same time, he also created numerous works on paper and collages. This work belongs to the «Frozen Memories» cycle. In this series, Plensa collages everyday objects onto processed parchment paper. «Paysage III» stands out from the cycle simply because of its size.
