From the 1970s, massive and heavy elements appear in his works in the form of boulders, roots and huge springs that hark back to archetypal shapes. After 1989 Veselý started to undertake major projects to be installed in a specific landscape. These projects, many of them not realised, such as the Kadesh Barnea Monument in the middle of the Negev Desert in Israel, are a supreme contribution to world sculpture.
