Through the fusion of the unique pieces of VICENTE GRACIA and the strips and lace of EUSEBIO SÁNCHEZ, The exhibition “VALENCIAN GARDEN” is a pioneering project that aims to highlight the unique connection between these two companies that seek to praise and preserve the craftsmanship and rich cultural heritage of Valencia through the fusion of fashion, culture and design.
Two main pieces root the exhibition: The “Valencian Garden” lace, a unique embroidery by Eusebio Sánchez, made of transparent tulle embroidered with the highest quality mercerized cotton thread, representative of the firm throughout more than 20 years, and a dressing designed by Vicente Gracia, National Crafts Award, baptized with the name of “The Bird Conference”. Next to them, the showcases and shop windows of Vicente Gracia Art Jewellery are transformed into a lush garden by the hand of window dresser Omar Ortiz (OmiO Design), on watercolors by José Grimalt, inspired by the flowers that adorn the gardens of Valencia in March.
Each flower has been meticulously recreated with the delicate lace of Eusebio Sánchez, among them those that the Fallara Mayor Infantil de Valencia wears in one of its costumes, masterfully intertwined with the dressings of Vicente Gracia, among which stands out an exact copy of the Virgin of the Forsaken earrings restored by the jeweler.
The exhibition takes place in a fascinating thematic area that not only highlights the evolution of Valencian fashion and crafts over time, but also explores the influence of various cultures, with special emphasis on the legacy of Andalusian culture. This approach highlights the richness of cultural interconnection and underlines the diversity that has enriched local tradition..
It is a unique opportunity to discover our Valencian creations that incorporate classic drawings inspired by old sketches and lace from past centuries., so they are the result of a laborious passion and dedication, with the aim of offering our clients a unique and distinguished experience.
Valencia has historically been a prosperous region, powered by the talent and commerce of our artisans, Thus Vicente Gracia wanted to highlight, with her jewelry, the depth of our traditions and the cultural and historical wealth of Valencia beyond the 18th century, since many of our traditions reveal great secrets, and our goal with this exhibition is to immerse ourselves in the past and discover what they tell. We want to break the mold and show a broad vision that challenges pre-established conceptions., proving that our culture is much more diverse and richer than we usually think.
The exhibition, located in the jewelry designer's creation space, Vincent Grace, on Peace Street number. 4 from Valencia, will be open to the public until 25 of April. It will not only offer a unique visual experience to visitors, but will also strengthen the cultural fabric of Valencia, highlighting the importance of collaboration between local companies in the preservation of artisan traditions.
