Flower of the Sun (Flor del Sol) Story
"Flower of the Sun" (Flor del Sol) is JuanCarlos’ iconic series, a parallel narrative story that encompasses eight series in paintings and three series in sculpture, all to recount a poignant love story. This story took the artist around 15 years to complete.
The idea is centered around a concept of a Flower of Love (Flor), growing and existing on the sun. Upon seeing so much destruction on earth, when the flower was to reincarnate, she asked the creator to send her seed and allow her to be born on the surface of the sun instead, to forever remain engulfed in flames, as a protest to the ways we’re devouring our home planet...to serve as a reminder every time we look up, all in hopes to incite us to change and become benevolent beings we were always meant to be. One can notice the silhouette of the flower is almost always black, symbolizing it being burned, as a sacrifice for humanity.
