Creating and expressing, art is not only a manifestation of creativity but a mirror of the human soul, of the soul of creators who vibrate at a high level and are not afraid to demonstrate what they feel through their creations. An artist is a witness to the emotions, experiences, and revolutions in life that lead them to create works of art.
To be an artist is to be sensitive and free, to tell stories that transcend the canvas and invite us to connect. This, without a doubt, we have confirmed over the years, through works of art and artists who have left their mark on humanity.
At Jacaranda, we believe that art is not an unattainable luxury, but a living, close and transformative experience. So today we take you to discover the stories that have turned some pieces into eternal icons.
The Mona Lisa: The enigma of a smile
Few paintings have generated as much mystery as Leonardo da Vinci's La Gioconda, also known as “The Mona Lisa”. Her almost imperceptible smile has fascinated generations, and to that, we add the gaze, which gives one the feeling of being watched all the time.
Some see it as the revelation of a secret, others as the masterful result of sfumato, a technique that subtly blurs the outlines. But beyond the technique, the mystery remains: how can a work of art arouse such an enigmatic and captivating sensation?
The Starry Night: A reflection of Van Gogh's soul
A particular story is related to this work of art. It is said to have been painted from the window of his room in the Saint-Rémy hospital.
“The Starry Night” is much more than a nocturnal landscape, it is the manifestation of the intensity of Van Gogh's emotions. Through the creations of artists we can understand their way of seeing the world, for example, Van Gogh, in his letters, the artist described the sky as a dance of living lights, full of energy.
Every stroke of this painting, every shining star, reminds us that art has the power to turn inner turmoil into beauty.
The Scream: Anguish made color
Edvard Munch managed to capture that feeling of wanting to scream that we have all felt at some time in his work “The Scream”, representing the anxiety that can sometimes invade us without explanation.
The artist was inspired by a walk during which he felt “an infinite scream piercing through nature”, creating a vibrant image that continues to resonate today. His message is clear: Art can be a refuge, a voice, and a catharsis.
The Girl with the Pearl Earring: Beauty in the Ephemeral
Nicknamed “The Mona Lisa of the North”, this painting by Johannes Vermeer captures a moment of delicacy. The light on her face, the shine on her ear, and the depth of her gaze make us wonder who she is and what story she hides.
Her mystery has been her charm: she reminds us that beauty is in the simple and the fleeting.
Guernica: A cry of protest made into art
Pablo Picasso created “Guernica” in response to the horrors of war. With distorted figures and a black and white that exudes great sadness, the work remains a symbol of resistance and humanity. More than a painting, it has become a visual testimony that forces us to remember and reflect.
These works show us that art is more than an object of admiration in a museum; it is emotion, history, and transformation. At Jacaranda, we believe that each piece has something to tell us, that we all deserve to experience art up close and understand it as a reason to connect.
