The Verudela Art Park, a project by Dean Skira, is a mesmerizing new artistic attraction in Pula, Croatia. Located on 5,500 m2 of land in Verudela, this park features spectacular sculptures and installations. It’s a perfect destination for art enthusiasts, as well as anyone looking to unwind and take a leisurely stroll through this captivating space.

The lighting design for the Verudela Art Park goes above and beyond traditional landscape illumination. While creating visual balance between light and shade was important, it was also crucial to highlight the sculptures and Corten lines that intersect with the terrain. Safety was also a top priority, ensuring visitors could move around the park at night without issue. To achieve this, both the park itself as well as the pedestrian paths around it and a portion of the nearby forest were illuminated. The result is a breathtaking experience that showcases the park’s natural beauty and artistic installations while providing a secure and enjoyable environment for everyone who visits.

The Verudela Art Park is a remarkable project that seamlessly blends three layers of lighting: function, architecture, and nature. There is no clear separation between these different functions; they all meld together. The same lighting fixtures that illuminate the artwork and sculptures also provide functional lighting for the paths. It’s a perfect example of how lighting can bring together different elements of a space and create a cohesive, stunning stage for art.
