Garden
Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, in her vision of flowers, finds in diversity an expression of beauty and divine providence. She observes that every flower, from the simplest to the most exuberant, has its place and purpose in God's garden.
The watercolor "Interior Garden" reflects this diversity through its colors and shapes, evoking the idea that each flower, each soul, has a unique beauty that contributes to the splendor of the whole. In this sense, diversity is not just a characteristic, but a celebration of creation.
Let us listen to Saint Thérèse of Lisieux: "I understood that all the flowers He created have their particular beauty, and that the splendor of the rose and the white of the lily do not take away the perfume of the violet or the enchanting simplicity of the daisy." And she continues, "This is how it is in the world of souls, which is the garden of Jesus. He wanted to create great saints who can be compared to lilies and roses, but He also created smaller ones, and these must be content to be daisies or violets destined to delight the gaze of the good God when He lowers them to His feet."
In the painting, the different shapes and colors seem to dance together, symbolizing how each soul, with its particularities, contributes to the beauty of the spiritual "garden." Every flower is necessary to complete the masterpiece of creation, and each has its time and place to bloom.
