Joan Miró's art transformed into jewel
Stars in a cosmos of necklaces, moons orbiting earrings, open eyes contemplating rings... At Joidart, as creators of contemporary designer jewelry, we always dream of developing a jewelry collection based on the work of Joan Miró.
Now, on the verge of celebrating our 40th anniversary as a brand, the dream has become a reality with the support of Successió Miró, the entity that manages the rights to the artist's works and that has designated us as official producers of jewelry inspired by his creations.
Through the designs of our creative team and the expert hands of our goldsmiths, we pay tribute to one of the most famous artists of the 20th century. We do it contemplating the same Mediterranean Sea that cradled him and feeling the same creative impulse of the Barcelona where he lived.
Joan Miró was a painter, sculptor, engraver and ceramist, but he never explored jewelry. The challenge of diving into his universe, selecting the appropriate works and translating them into pieces of jewelry has meant a complex exercise full of humility, respect and affection.
During this trip, we have surrendered to the symbology of the artist in his most mature stage: the stars, the moon or the constellations, an unavoidable part of his imagination. We have explored the organic lines, calligraphy, silhouettes, birds and eyes that inhabit his murals and paintings to turn them into unique jewels. We are faced with pieces that capture the strength of the Mironian spirit painted with the primary colors that the artist loved so much and that our artisans apply manually with enamels on necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets and needles.
The purity of Joan Miró's work has transcended art spaces to touch, in the form of a jewel, the artistic sensitivity of women around the world. The idyll begins: Miró and them.
Joan Miró, the artist
Joan Miró was one of the great artists of the 20th century. He developed his talent in painting, sculpture, engraving and ceramic murals. Considered one of the main representatives of surrealism, a movement to which he never joined, he pioneered a "random" drawing style that sought to express the inner workings of the human subconscious. Abstract and dreamlike, he broke the schemes of traditional painting. He used color and shape in a symbolic and recurring way. Natural elements such as birds, the moon and eyes are repeated in his work over and over again, as are the primary, intense and saturated colors, which he himself stated that he applies “as words that give shape to the poems, as notes that They shape music." His work, present in the most prestigious international museums and in the spaces of the Joan Miró Foundation, continues to inspire and surprise artists and visitors from all over the world.
Made in Joidart, Barcelona
Joidart is a family business dedicated to the creation of contemporary jewelry in collaboration with artists and designers. All pieces are handcrafted in the brand's own workshop located very close to the Mediterranean and Barcelona (city where Joan Miró was born and lived). From there, they reach the entire world impregnated with the essence of their authors and the sea that inspires them.
