Horse Vision Pavillion

The company from Almería surprises the world with a sculpture of a Horse torso of more than 7 meters in gray marble and an organic relief in Limestone forming a falcon to make the Vision Pavilion the space best valued by visitors to the entire Expo Dubai 2020 and awarded as the best small pavilion in the World Expo Awards of Exhibitor magazine.

The impressive works of CuellarStone will continue to receive visitors as part of the legacy of Expo Dubái 2020 integrated into District 2020. The Almería company once again carries out a millimetric work to challenge the limits of natural stone, positioning itself as one of the world's leading companies in making unique projects in natural stone. These works are part of the Vision Pavilion, a space designed by the Sevillian company ICARIA Atelier and commissioned by the Expo management itself as a tribute to the vision, values ​​and leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and ruler of Dubai. The space illustrates the biography of the Sheikh as well as his decisive contribution to the development of the Emirate, going from a desert to one of the most successful cities in the world. This is made up of three halls filled with captivating exhibits. The first “Foundations and Learning” evokes the desert and His Majesty's childhood learning, introducing the roots of Dubai's history. The cladding is made up of 75 pieces of Belim Sandstone with thicknesses of up to 30 cm and weights of up to 200 Kg carved by CuellarStone master craftsmen giving life to the falcon. This falcon refers to the animal used by the original Bedouin tribes of Dubai to hunt. A video explaining His Highness's childhood, the teachings of his father in the desert and his mother at home, which laid the foundations for his commitment to the people of Dubai and the Emirates, is projected on this organic cladding.

The second room "Passion and Values" is dedicated to the passions and values ​​of His Highness that make up poetry and horses. In this space, the sculpture of Dubai Millenium stands out, a racehorse of His Highness in his youth with projections and images on the horse's torso that recreate its appearance and life. The sculpture is made of Grey Marble and composed of 41 solid pieces with a weight of 52 tons. The sculpture was pre-assembled in the company's facilities and approved on site by the Expo's Optional Management, who traveled to the Almeria-based company. CuellarStone fully developed the sculpture from the calculation and development of the structure, as well as the cutting, elaboration and installation on site.
