The landscape lends itself to numerous interpretations depending on the geographical, cultural and individual observer. It is an unit that is both physical as intangible that results from its status as a cultural space, built by man in terms of their shape and characteristics, as well as with individual (pre)concepts. The aim of this article is set on a reflection on the concept of landscape as a unit of study and interpretation of the world as a crafted entity (or in process of construction) and its (re)interpretation or appropriation by different artistic expres- sions. This synthesis caused by the observable (physical space) and the senses (of the individual domain) contributes meaningfully to the cultural transformation of the landscape, especially in a highly mediated society as Western.
