Art and craftsmanship
Pieces with a past
Some came from antique dealers. Others were made just for this place. All of them have something to tell.
The centrepiece
BALCRIS
The painting above the bed is an original work by Sevillian artist BALCRIS. Colour, gesture, and a figure dissolving into shapes — the piece that sets the tone for the whole house.
Analogue photography
Los Juanchys
The black-and-white photographs throughout the house are the work of Los Juanchys — Juanchy García and Gabry Cano, the Estepona-based photography duo awarded Photographer of the Year internationally at the FEPFI Awards, for a black-and-white, maritime-inspired fashion editorial published in L'Officiel Hommes Thailand. Running their studio in Estepona since 2019, they're an internationally recognised name in fashion, maternity and newborn photography — and their analogue portraits hang on the walls of Casa Juani.
Talavera de la Reina
Glazed pottery with over five centuries of tradition, listed as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2019. Its cobalt blue, copper green and antimony yellow palette on white glaze is one of the hallmarks of Spanish ceramics.
Granada ceramics
Known as Fajalauza ware, after the old gate in the Albaicín where it was made from the 16th century onward. Its cobalt blue on white, with the pomegranate as its signature motif, carries on the craft of the Morisco potters and is held today in museums such as London's Victoria & Albert.
Triana (Seville)
Seville's historic potters' quarter since Roman times, on the banks of the Guadalquivir. Its kilns produced the tiles that still dress palaces, courtyards and the Plaza de España — the same tradition that reaches all the way to Casa Juani.
