This delicate blending of forms and light brings harmony and demonstrates the Maison's unmatched precision. The dimensions of each square on the lip jewel, ring, earrings, and necklace have been carefully chosen to complement the size of each yellow diamond.

The Italian Maison Pomellato is showcasing its most precious high jewelry collection ever in Paris, as it marks the 20th anniversary of Creative Director Vincenzo Castaldo at Pompellato. 2023 POMELLATO HIGH JEWELRY COLLECTION, GIARDINI VERTICALI EARRINGS. All images courtesy of Pompellato. 'Ode to Milan' was designed by Castaldo and the Pomellato high jewelry workshop to salute the Maison and Milan, which has served as a constant source of inspiration since 1967 for the brand. In 33 daringly contemporary yet classic designs, presented in four chapters, "VERTICAL LANDSCAPE," "CONTEMPO-RARY HERITAGE," "CREATIVITY ON STAGE" and "TERRAZZA DUOMO," this historic high jewelry collection honors the city's diverse past and its interesting wealth of hidden gems. Pomellato has uncharacteristically decided to introduce the jewels in Paris, the center of haute joaillerie, despite the fact that the source of inspiration for the collection is Milan, the city of design. By putting Milanese design at the center of Parisian haute joaillerie, Pomellato seeks to foster discussions on various conceptions of fine jewelry. Vertical Landscapes (above) chapter embraces the unconventional beauty of Milan’s 21st-century architectural styles and the Rationalist skyscrapers such as the groundbreaking Torre Velasca and the colorful facades of Gio Ponti’s buildings. The linear frame of the Skyline necklace brings together an impressive selection of 128 glorious and rare spinels. Like a Milanese sunset framed by vertical high-rises, an extraordinary stream of color drapes along the neck. 2023 POMELLATO HIGH JEWELRY COLLECTION CASTELLO CHOKER. "We are very proud to present our most precious high jewelry collection ever in Paris, the capital of high jewelry, where we will share our unique vision. Pomellato is different as all of our designs are made to be worn every day. We have always put women at the center of the creation process, offering modern pieces of great quality and beauty that are easy to wear. This collection is no exception. Even the most precious pieces are designed to be worn casually and not just for special events. We believe that jewelry should accompany women on all occasions, in line with the emancipated and contemporary character of the Pomellato woman." - Sabina Belli, CEO of Pomellato A conversation with Milan The constantly evolving cityscape of Milan, where a deep respect for manufacturing excellence rubs shoulders with design innovation, has made its mark on Pomellato. Whether it is the functional designs of mid-century Modernists such as Gio Ponti and Piero Fornasetti or the splendor of its historic architectural masterpieces, Pomellato thrives on the energy of Milan’s unique style. 2023 POMELLATO HIGH JEWELRY COLLECTION TERRAZZA DUOMO CHOKER ‘Pomellato was born in Milan in 1967,’ recalls Vincenzo Castaldo, Creative Director of the house. ‘And it is here that we continue to create and manufacture our jewels. Our artisanal savoir-faire is Milanese; the emphasis we place on design and ergonomics is Milanese, as is our search for excellence in each and every technique that we employ. We grew up in this city, and Milan is an integral part of Pomellato. In 2023, it seemed quite natural for us to devote a high jewelry collection to Milan, expressed in a very Pomellato way. The result is a private conversation between Milan and Pomellato, revealing the common traits between the two. This collection has personal significance for me. On the occasion of my 20th anniversary at Pomellato, I wanted to honor both Pomellato and the city that it is inextricably connected to, both of which are home to me'. The collection is much more than a figurative interpretation of the classic symbols of Milan, the ancient fiefdom of the powerful Visconti dynasty. ‘Ode to Milan’ is a dialogue that reflects the pulse of the city and reveals its most intimate workings. ‘We wanted to celebrate Milan, to unveil the mystery of its captivating personality. Our collection shakes up the codes of traditional high jewelry with contemporary yet elegant designs," continues Castaldo. 2023 POMELLATO HIGH JEWELRY COLLECTION TERRAZZA DUOMO BRACELETS IN WHITE GOLD OR ROSE GOLD & DIAMONDS Creativity on Stage is born from Pomellato’s history of chain-making, with each jewel a metaphor for the fertile creativity that abounds on the stage of La Scala and via Montenapoleone. Terrazza Duomo distils the key shapes found in the façade of the gothic Duomo cathedral and turns them into thoroughly contemporary sculptural earrings, a choker, and two bracelets in white or rose gold with white diamonds. POMELLATO HIGH JEWELLERY COLLECTION SKETCH SKYLINE NECKLACE The luminous bezel-set, cushion-cut spinels range from the classic red color to the lesser-known hues of warm scarlet, dusky pink, light mauve, sky blue, and smoky grey. The feel of the necklace is soft and sensual thanks to its perfectly articulated structure and a back section of highly mobile gate-link chains. The asymmetric necklace ends with two rose gold bars set with a pavé of diamonds, echoing two similar elements that join the double rows of gemstones to the back chain. A matching pair of earrings features 12 spinels that gently fade from glowing red to light purple. The refined color composition of Skyline is a reflection of the sophistication of Milan. A cascade of 52 magnetic green tourmalines combined with six violet-blue tanzanites make up the dazzling Giardini Verticali earrings. Each emerald-cut stone is reverse-set in green titanium to create a spectacular mosaic of movement, color, and texture, reminiscent of Gió Ponti’s building with its façade of glazed, green tiles. Three magnificent emerald-cut indicolites also star in the Princess-style necklace composed of outsized rose gold links set with diamonds. The distinctive petrol-green shade of the indicolites echoes the velvet often seen in Milan’s most elegant interiors. 2023 POMELLATO HIGH JEWELRY COLLECTION CASTELLO EARRINGS WITH RUBELLITE Urban Bloom evokes the lush gardens that unexpectedly flourish on the city’s high-rise balconies or secret gardens. Three mesh bracelets in yellow, white, or rose gold with diamonds are dotted with green tsavorites, blue sapphires, or pink and violet sapphires. A matching choker with pink and violet sapphires caresses the neck. This journey through Milan’s contemporary urban landscape gives a new look to the iconic Nudo. The Nudo Triennale offers four up-to-date versions of the toi et moi ring, each featuring a precious gemstone and diamonds. The rich colors of aquamarine, rubellite, and green tourmaline on one side of the ring are lit up by a pavé of white diamonds on the other side. The queen of the quartet is a combination of a 3-carat Princess-cut diamond and a vivid purple-blue tanzanite. If the city were to be defined by one color, it would be the low-key gray tone known as ‘Milanese gray, seen in the flannel of men’s suits and the fog that descends on the plains. The Nudo Cascade is an ode to this most Milanese of tones, with a shower of monochrome smoky grey hourglass-cut moonstones suspended on gold and titanium chains from a choker composed of jumbo-sized diamond-set links. A matching pair of earrings is full of movement, featuring slender white gold and titanium chains tipped with gray moonstones. The shape of the moonstones is echoed in the diamond-paved gold squares that sit on the lobe. Contemporary Heritage is Pomellato’s idiosyncratic interpretation of the history of Milan, in particular the medieval Castello Sforzesco. A 1972 choker from the archives provided the creative spark behind the nine jewels that are a bridge between Pomellato’s design tradition and the city's most commanding monument. The design team reinterpreted the original choker to create the Castello necklace, which has a neo-medieval look. It is made up of rose gold plaques joined together by chunky diamond-set gourmette links and adorned with more than 28 carats of baguette, princess, and brilliant-cut diamonds and five reverse-set rubellites totaling more than 29 carats. By setting the gems in this unconventional way, their sharp angles are reminiscent of the rusticated stone masonry of the façade of the Castello, creating a new type of pavé that Pomellato has. By setting the gems in this unconventional way, their sharp angles are reminiscent of the rusticated stone masonry of the façade of the Castello, creating a new type of pavé that Pomellato has named "bossage." This architectural technique of using stones with clearly defined edges and a raised central area gives a feeling of power and invincibility. A removable rose gold and diamond-set chain adds a further historic touch. Two pairs of earrings accompany this impressive necklace, graced with either a reverse-set tanzanite or rubellite and surrounded by diamonds. The same saturated tones and imposing reverse-set shapes are carried through in the two rings. One features an oval-faceted nearly 19-carat rhodolite garnet, and the other features more than 16-carat sugarloaf diamond-cut’ tanzanite. The contoured gold bezels are dusted with an irregular white diamond pavé. The Fortezza choker and matching earrings are a variant of the Castello set. In this version, the gold plaques are lined with glossy black ceramic. Seven luminous green reverse-set malachites resemble the studs on the doors of the ancient fort. The vibrant swirling green of the malachite, along with the emeralds set into the links, create a striking contrast to the dark ceramic. A line of irregular brown diamond pavé embellishes the edge of each plaque. The same brown diamond pavé surrounds the malachites contained in a matching pair of earrings. The chapter is completed with the stunning Dama rose gold bracelets, one for each wrist. The geometric form of the solid curve of rounded gold is based on a super-sized version of the Gourmette link. A double line of white diamonds runs along the edge of the seamless sweep of gold on these sumptuous bracelets. Creativity on Stage Chains have been at the heart of Pomellato’s history and are intrinsically linked to the house’s tradition of goldsmithing. As past masters of this genre skill, Pomellato dares to push the boundaries with three luxurious necklaces that pay homage to the creativity of La Scala theater. Each one is composed of chains in reimagined proportions and shimmering with diamonds that are assembled using new variations of setting techniques. The result is an irreverent and ironic take on this jewelry staple. The show-stopping Lirica necklace is composed of swathes of links of varying sizes that fall like the swags of the curtains at La Scala. The larger link is set with diamonds in different cuts and arranged in a seemingly haphazard pattern in this large asymmetrical necklace. Even more theatrical is the Sipario body chain necklace, which captures the magic and awe of the theater. Various styles of chains and diamond-set links drape down and around the torso, dressing the body in a mesmerizing web. The large central link is set with a random pattern of sizeable brilliant- and fancy-cut diamonds. Utterly chic in its minimalism, the Catena Milano rose-gold rope mesh chain marries the simplicity of Milan’s industrial design heritage with the glamour of Pomellato. The spacers on the lariat-style necklace allow the clasp to move up or down its length for multi-wear options and feature different types of diamond-setting technique, showcasing Pomellato’s virtuosity in both chain making and gem-setting. The diamond-set elements at the end of the chain capture the functionality of hardware as the parts swivel with pleasing ease. The contrast of the feminine, soft, and sinuous gold rope with the masculine strength of the clasp gives this necklace an arresting and modern air. Terrazza Duomo is a testament to Milan’s design prowess. The ornate white marble façade of the Duomo is deconstructed to offer key geometrical shapes that form the basis for four elegantly simple earrings and two bracelets. The extrapolation of this masterpiece of 14th-century Gothic architecture to essential forms highlights the intellectual rigor at the heart of Pomellato’s design ethos, born of a deep appreciation of the timeless nature of design. Contemporary Heritage brings to necklaces, rings, and earrings the strength of the imposing carved stone façade of Milan’s Castello Sforzesco. The history of Milan and its ancient fortifications is interpreted in the gold work of these memorable jewels. The Losange, Marquise, Drop, and Trilliant earrings are light, airy, mobile sculptures in white or rose gold swathed in white diamonds that gently sway with each move of the body and can be worn solo or as a pair. The symmetry of the geometrical composition contrasts with the clusters of diamonds that sit on the lobe. The Terrazza Duomo bracelets continue the theme of abstraction, and the same geometrical shapes are repeated in a plain gold frame from which rises a second tier of white diamond pavé elements. The final piece in this exquisite collection is a rose gold choker, stark in its simplicity. Carefully engineered to lie perfectly flush on the skin, its only adornment is an irregularly placed arrangement of fancy diamonds in a ‘charivari’ pattern pavé. ‘Ode to Milan’ unites Pomellato’s unique approach to high jewelry with the highest standards of craftsmanship. Like this remarkable city, Pomellato respects the past but keeps a keen eye on the future, an attitude that sets this audacious collection apart.

Cammilli the Italian brand pairs its signature design in white, champagne beige, and such as the 8 original shades of 18kt gold are tastefully adorned with velvety details executed by Cammilli's master goldsmiths. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Firenze celebratory ring, dedicated to the city. Cammilli celebrates its 40th anniversary in Florence 2023 marks a special birthday for Annamaria Cammilli, which in forty years has become a leading brand in world jewelry design. A compelling journey with an international reach, the one that leads the company to celebrate in Florence 40 years of activity. A combination that embodies two fundamental pillars for the brand's identity: 40 years is synonymous with goldsmith specialization and experience, while Florence is the ultimate expression of art and beauty, inspiring the Maison's creations every day. Cammilli celebrates its forty years in the evocative setting of Renaissance Florence. For the occasion, the company organized an event that took its guests on an extraordinary journey through art and beauty. The experience reserved for Cammilli's guests was conceived to give an international audience the opportunity to fully understand the soul of a company that has the privilege of creating jewels in a unique city like Florence, which has always represented an inexhaustible source of inspiration for the creativity of the brand. The itinerary began in Piazza della Signoria, where the guests visited the Cammilli Boutique and stopped at the Loggia dei Lanzi, exceptionally reserved for those present, to then take part in an exclusive guided tour of the Uffizi Museum. On this special occasion, Cammilli's guests were able to admire the great masterpieces of Florentine art behind closed doors. The event then moved to the historic Palazzo Gondi, one of the most illustrious Florentine Renaissance palaces. During the evening, guests were able to enjoy a rich entertainment program and a privileged perspective on the city from the terrace of the Palazzo, where it was possible to observe a Cammilli goldsmith intent on giving life to some creations. The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the Firenze celebratory ring, dedicated to the city, the cradle of art and beauty which has always hosted and inspired the creativity of the Cammilli brand. As a symbolic moment to underline the tribute to Florence, Annamaria Cammilli dedicated "Firenze" to Florence, delivering to the highest office of the city, the Mayor Dario Nardella, a unique work created for the occasion by the artist Annamaria Cammilli. A truly special evening, in which Cammilli was able to celebrate its 40th birthday by letting its guests breathe in the creative atmosphere that pervades Florence, an essential part of its DNA. An unrepeatable location, where creating jewels becomes an art, every day. 40 YEARS OF CAMMILLI A compelling journey with an international reach, the one that leads the company to celebrate 40 years in Florence today. Making jewelery for forty years in Florence means a great experience, gained in a special city. A combination that embodies two fundamental pillars for the brand's identity: 40 years is synonymous with goldsmith specialization and experience, while Florence is the ultimate expression of art and beauty, which inspires the house's creations every day. It was 1983 when Annamaria Cammilli decided to transform her jewelry boutique in the heart of Florence into something bigger. Thanks to this courageous choice Annamaria, painter and sculptor, has succeeded in founding a company on her own artistic talent, giving life to sculptural creations that stand out for theexceptional plasticity of their shapes. Over the years, her peculiar way of making jewelry has turned into a distinctive style, an original and very recognizable creative message. The talent of Cammilli's master goldsmiths then allowed to develop a high degree of specialization on various technical aspects, such as the 8 original shades of 18kt gold and the exclusive Aetherna velvety finish of gold surfaces that unequivocally distinguish the brand's jewels, a secret recipe specially developed to enhance the three-dimensionality of the jewel. Florence is the natural habitat of all of this, immersed in the eternal beuty of the Renaissance, but also a brilliant, sparkling and contemporary city of fashion. It is no coincidence that Annamaria Cammilli's Flagship store has been located for 10 years right in the heart of art and beauty, in front of the symbol of the city, Palazzo Vecchio. Rigorously 100% Made in Italy production and an exclusive design: these are the values that have allowed the company to constantly renew itself over time at the service of a sophisticated and empowered woman, without ever giving up a recognizable style nor accepting compromises on quality. However, there are also the figures confirming the appreciation of the market. Cammilli in fact closed 2022 with a +38% compared to the previous year, and the increase compared to the reference year before Covid (2019) is as much as 97%. Cammilli continues to grow also thanks to an investment policy aimed at increasing the distribution of the brand, its notoriety and awareness of the added value of its products. Like the important investment dedicated to training witnessed by the inauguration in June 2022 of the Cammilli Academy, a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to training the sales personnel of the dealers who present the brand all over the world. An experience offering the participants not only the opportunity to learn how to effectively convey the special features of Cammilli jewels, but also to live an immersive experience in the heart of Florence, to discover the origins and true essence of the brand. An initiative that tells about the desire to continue to fuel growth, bringing the pervasive beauty of Florence and the savoir-faire of its master goldsmiths to the world...enclosed in a jewel. The growth of the brand will continue to be supported by a coherent creative path, but at the same time capable of innovating and reaching ever higher peaks, with an increasingly large space dedicated to high jewelery creations. An upward stylistic evolution, which in recent years has led the company to create even more precious jewels: here Cammilli's refined design meets high-level precious and semi-precious stones that do not go unnoticed. A trend that is recognizable in Couture creations and also confirmed through the most precious versions of the 40-year celebratory jewel, the Firenze ring. THE CELEBRATORY JEWEL: “FIRENZE” RING A special jewel in a limited edition of only 40 pieces, created to celebrate Annamaria Cammilli's 40th birthday. The Firenze ring pays homage to the extraordinary city that inspires the brand's creativity every day, but also to the particular sculptural attitude in making jewelry that has always made Cammilli creations so recognizable. The Florentine Maison is known worldwide for its gold finish and colors of gold, but today it wants to focus on an even more distinctive aspect of its collections, namely the sculptural volumes. This is why the Firenze ring was not only made with the classic Aetherna satin finish, but in 7 different variants which also include the polished version, or the presence of various types and designs of pavé with diamonds and precious stones. On this special occasion, the brand wants to underline how much its history and creativity have been determined over time by a particular sculptural attitude in making jewelry. With the Firenze ring, Annamaria Cammilli celebrates the fluid volumes and the three-dimensionality of its shapes. This is the reason why there are so many different finishes and variants of Firenze: the stage is dedicated exclusively to design. The choice for the celebratory jewel fell on a ring, as this has always been the jewel that represents the excellence of the brand. However, this ring is even more special: its shapes are presented in seven different finishing versions and different use of stones, and each of the versions is produced in a limited series of only 40 pieces. The ring could not have just a normal case and in fact "FIRENZE" is offered with a more than exclusive packaging: a casket totally carved in alabaster stone. The 7 versions of the FIRENZE ring: • LUX Version : only gold • ICON and ICON LUX versions: in the style of the iconic Dune collection, declined in satin version with Aetherna finish and polished version • GALAXY and GALAXY LUX versions: illuminated by a touch of pavé, declined in satin version with Aetherna finish and polished version • PAVÉ and PAVÉ COLOR: completely covered with stones, diamonds or colored precious stones such as rubies, sapphires, emeralds, brown and black diamonds All together, the different versions of this ring represent the summary of Cammilli’s 40-year creativity, as well as the result of the maximum specialization achieved in the expression of shapes and volumes. An exclusive and characterful jewel, available in only 40 pieces. THE CREATIVE PATH Cammilli is rigorously consistent and does not betray his audience, maintaining a recognizable character even in the new collections. However, there is a new path, a path that tends upwards. Cammilli's creativity has been proposing more important stones for some time and the style often winks at new precious and semi-precious gems of high value for an original chromatic impact. A trend testified by the new creations of Prestige, Couture, Athena, the new set Velaa Star and the important launch of the Moon Drops collection presented in 2023. Diamonds, but also precious colored gems such as emeralds, rubies, tanzanites meet the traditional colors of gold and the Maison's recognizable design to a stunning effect. Jewels that express design and artistic flair, combining unusual shapes and enveloping volumes with stones that do not go unnoticed: this is the present and the future of a company that from Florence puts its experience at the service of an ever more daring and precious creativity.

White, champagne beige, and black are tastefully adorned with details in silver and gold. Show notes state, It is 9:30 p.m. when Maria Callas enters the stage of the Paris Opera. It is December 19, 1958, and for this exceptional gala, the «who’s who» of politics, business, and the arts in Paris is present. Cameras are focused on her, and the television channels will broadcast it on Eurovision. The capital is about to experience an unforgettable night; the very night that will give birth to the Haute Couture collection 2023-2024, with the fantasy of seeing Maria ascend the grand staircase of the Palais Garnier once again. Stéphane Rolland has created 31 dresses, all inspired by the soprano’s roles, as well as the woman herself and the emotions she conveyed. A conical dress wrapped in black gazar opens this suspended moment in time; it is followed by long, articulated vests cascading with crepe and cubic dresses. The cut is sharp, pure, noble. Boleros, capes, and frock coats are embroidered with bas-reliefs and acanthus leaves in white porcelain. We are at the Palais Garnier. The heroines parade before our eyes. In her Wagnerian beginnings, she wears a diamond-studded helmet and a black velvet gown. As a «Verdian», Maria becomes Violetta in crinoline dresses adorned with satin slats or a long sheath gown embellished with a ”fan” sculpture of gold and diamonds. Eleonora appears immaculate in an inverted white crepe cape embroidered with biscuit porcelain. Tosca, wearing a long draped toga dress made of pearlescent duchess satin and embroidered with golden olive branches. Tragic, Maria embodies Medea in a blood-red waffled crepe hooded dress covered with a burning bush made of golden leather. Finally, the role of roles. Norma. She is enveloped in an immense acanthus leaf and veiled with white muslin. In the end, of all these embodied women, only one name will remain... Callas.

Not that he does not make classical looks, like the elegant black lace dress with long sleeves, but the vibe is a lot of glamour and drama. Each look has an original and timeless twist to it, taking inspiration from music and art. His fascination with art and the rock 'n' roll lifestyle is also incorporated through elaborate fabrics and looks. The vibe is infused with a lot of glamour and drama for gender-fluid looks too.

Julie de LibranFALL/WINTER 2023-2024 collection By Liliya Tippetts Julie de Libran Couture FALL/WINTER 2023-2024 collection It all started with a desire to present my work in a different way. Tocelebrate life, the younger generation and women who fully embody theoutfits they wear in front of you. My débutantes are not beginners. - Julie de Libran She continues, "They embody my vision of couture at its most noble, lively and democratic. All is illusion. The taffetas are featherweights and the outfits far more structured than they appear, however fluid they may be. In the end, superimpositions hide their game, as transparency is at the source of this collection where lace and neo-corsets express themselves freely. It's an elegance that finds its source in real life, where clothes live unfettered and in motion. Lightweight, rhinestone knitwear operates like new-age armour. Sequins and poplin are happily married, resurrecting the codes of men's boxer shorts in the light of this joyful femininity. The leggings and bralette duo lose their casualness when integrated with refinement into an evening gown designed to exult. Lastly, the tuxedo jacket, more fitted than usual, lives out its idyll with swimsuits whose destiny is to be composed. The brilliance of black and ivory, signature navy blue, the softness of matte nude and a hint of colour for a few retina-stimulating pieces. Enjoy!

Reflecting on the history of the Maison, the finale underlines the designer's masterful touch; paying hommage to the tradition while keeping his mind in the present. This seemingly effortless pairing is the reason for Zuhair Murad's international popularity and the reason why his dresses are so well-suited for red carpets in LA, French Riviera, or dynastic wedding ceremonies. Murad's couture looks do not replicate history; rather, his couture proposes casual elegance that captures the freedom and all the modern opportunities. The voluminous cape, distinct from the bubble taffeta fabric often paired with a corset or a majestic black rose on a velvet bodice or an opulent skirt adorned with a motif of roses in fil coupé jacquard.

Juana Martín Couture FALL/WINTER 2023-2024 collection aptly titled "FIERAS"/"FAUVES" with the references to the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War is also a celebration of the great creativity of the Spanish people By Liliya Tippetts Juana Martín surrounded by her models at the finale of her Couture FALL/WINTER 2023-2024 collection The final day of Paris haute Couture week had strong surreal vibe, as Spanish fashion designer Juana Martin presented her FW23-24 collection on Thursday July 6th. Contrary to her Haute Couture Fall Winter 2022/2023 show last summer that was staged in a flower garden and catwalk celebrated one of Spain's most celebrated actresses Rossy de Palma , this collection had more serious message to convey; Martín was inspired by the gloomy atmosphere around the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War, Juana Martin crosses on emotional journey via this collection as she moves from a feeling of devastation and intense anguish to the slow development of serenity and freedom. To tell this story, each outfit has been meticulously created. Symbols adorn the appearance, including the bull—which symbolizes the might of the Spanish people—the eyes—which allude to governmental surveillance—and the hands—which signify some sort of oppression. The cubist and abstract movements, which were used as a form of protest against the era's nationalism, are given a lot of attention in this collection. The dominating color scheme of the great Spanish artists-like Picasso's, serves as an inspiration for the white, black, gray, and silver tones. Every piece in the FW23–24 collection has a symbolic term that refers to one of the social–cultural–artistic movements that characterized this crucial era in Spanish history: resiliency, hope, or rebirth.It features works by Juana Martin that are true live pictures, going beyond plain aesthetics to show emotional depth.The newest piece from this collection unfolds into a huge dove.It represents freedom and peace on a global scale. Juana Martin expresses in it her wish for intense serenity.
