Mary’s approach to creating the wine labels was inspired by Joan Miró’s sensitivity to his environment, painting style and philosophy – “I work like a gardener or a winemaker. Things come slowly. My vocabulary of forms, for example – I didn’t discover it all at once. It formed itself almost in spite of me. Things follow their natural course. They grow, they ripen…, ripening goes on in my mind.”
The organic nature of the wine labels parallels the quintessence process of art and wine making; natural, intuitive and time-sensitive. The pursuit of beauty takes time, and it takes an eternity to practice.
Art and Wine is the perfect consummation of purpose, power and panacea, and we raise our glasses to that.
Six labels from six different regions have been created in different styles, motivated by personal dreams and interpretations, making each wine characteristically distinctive and special.
The labels – Pur, Essència, Aura and Lila – were painted with acrylic paints to create a highly textured and vibrant nature to match the richness of Priorat’s terroir, Conca de Barbera, Montsant and Empordà respectively. Penedès is known to be one of the most ancient viticultural areas in Europe and being close to the coast inspired Mary’s choice to use watercolours for the wine Daurat. Blanca’s label brings you up close and personal with this grape that embodies the microcosm of the world of wine which is translated with the transparency of water colours.
