Our Artists
Jacques Schneider is a Luxembourgish artist involved in favour of humanistic values.
In 2022 he was named “Chevalier de l’Ordre du Mérite civil et militaire Adolphe de Nassau” by His Royal Highness The Grand-Duke.
Raised in a family of mathematicians and photographers, he was encouraged early on to create and to always be true to himself, no matter what. Enriched with this trust he expressed his ideas as young as six years old, by choosing a chromatic range of two colours : orange and blue, a foreshadowing duo that would impact his life and creations.
Some thirty years later, it is with the same serenity that he imagines and dreams his life as an artist, thanks to the generous gifts he received from his parents : open-mindedness, generosity and love.
Jacques Schneider thus creates within this atavism, while respecting his own values, using ethical or vegan source material with Fairwear or Fairtrade labels.
Whether pictorial, sculptural, photographic or textile ... his creations are gateways which open doors toward others.
His artworks are often the result of a superposition of paint and ink on photographs mounted on cotton; like extensions of a heritage that would evolve through successive generations.
Jacques Schneider lays his strokes, his colours: a generous donation commonly called memory.
Through this technique that is his own, he presents his coloured vision of landscapes and monuments that surround him, as well as childhood memories, like family walks in Luxembourg’s countryside.
Attached to History and its dissemination, his current work with the Archives Nationales opens another perspective on contemporary art and asks questions.
With his tenderness, Jacques Schneider offers us a romantic, but nonetheless lucid reading about European society.
Sharing and creating punctuate his life. His collaborations and partnerships are to him windows to the world; inspired by society, he draws every day and creates everyday pieces in order to present to the general public what he feels ... if inspiration and ideas are dazzling, then the expression of artwork can take many months or years.
The foundations, symbols, and forms that he uses let us see just how much living together, the construction of a common future, cordial relations, and the incessant starting again are our destiny... nothing is permanent, the extreme fragility of the balance that unites us, must make us question the importance and the role of each in the creation of a more serene future, with more equity between people.
For the artist, it is as much about the condition sine qua non to draw nearer to a durable global peace.
Vic Garcia is a local Miami artist who found his passion and joy by expressing himself through art. Vic Garcia World was created to bring his community a sense of joy, happiness, and smiles through his art, clothes, and brand, while also providing them the opportunity to disconnect from the real world and welcome anyone who wants to join the dream and journey.
In Vic Garcia World, every piece – whether it’s a canvas or a mural – is made up of characters who all contribute to spreading good energy and good vibes throughout their space.
What started as pen and marker drawings on copy paper quickly evolved into a whole world populated by an overflow of characters I created. Using my art to express things I never could with words, my freestyle work and newly realized passion soon began to infest my room from walls to beneath the bed. Everyone, from my friends to guests wanted to take a piece of Vic Garcia World home with them, but it wasn’t until after college when I went to work for my dad that it became obvious that art had completely taken over my life. Lost in the world I created, I made the decision to go full-throttle into what came so naturally to me.
Family is the most important thing. My family and friends bring a sense of happiness and joy to me that’s needed to create this art and inspire me to keep on going and keep chasing this dream.
You have to believe in yourself first. Not everyday is going to be an amazing day but you have to keep chasing your dream, putting your heart and passion into whatever dream you’re going to attack. I think there’s space for anyone that wants to be an artist. It’s just knocking on the right doors and making it happen.
The possibilities are endless of what can be done. The way I’ve put the world I created together left a lot of doors open to do things at the right time, and collaborate with the right people. I’m looking forward to working on new collections of clothes, more murals, and the project with you all.
