The mural Metaphor of Balance invites us to reflect on the interconnectedness between feeling and thinking, the individual self and the collective being, and the deep relationship between humans and nature. Through a visual language rich in symbolism, this piece seeks to represent the harmony that emerges when these elements coexist in dynamic balance.The shapes and colors that make up the work evoke the fluidity of emotions and the structure of thought, drawing a dialogue between intuition and reason. Human figures emerge and intertwine with natural elements, such as branches, water currents, and birds in flight, suggesting the undeniable connection between human existence and the surrounding environment.The very composition of the mural is a testament to the complementary duality that defines our experience: the individual is in constant negotiation with the collective, while rationality is nourished by sensitivity and vice versa. Through this visual synergy, the work reminds us that balance is not a static position but a continuous process in motion—a pursuit that runs through us as human beings and as a society.Metaphor of Balance challenges us to find that point of convergence between our inner impulses and our relationship with the world, inviting us to take part in a more conscious, connected, and harmonious present.

Metaphor of Balance

Created for Memorial a To-do ColorThe mural was created as part of the International Muralism Festival ‘Memoria a todo color’ held in the municipality of San Carlos, Antioquia, Colombia.The mural was a collaborative creation by the Revolucionarte team, developed through conversations with the residents of the La 35 neighborhood — a community built through self-management, which overcame even the hardships of the war that affected this area in 1996. It’s a story of neighborhood, of brotherly love, and of collective construction.The mural was painted by the artists Eterno and Cloud, with the participation of Revolucionarte’s director Yefer Marín and communications director Ximena Tabares

Eterno

As victims of the armed conflict and forced displacement in Colombia, this work has allowed us to reflect on the events that have shaped our lives. It is a tribute to all the families and farmers who, with effort and resilience, have managed to move forward despite the harsh reality of abandoning their lands.Despite the difficulties, we have chosen peace as our path. We do not give up in the face of obstacles and, with conviction, we sow peace in our hearts, because we believe that change begins within ourselves. Winner of the urban art incentives from the Ministry of Culture of Pereira.

It is the tallest mural in Pereira, but its significance goes beyond its physical scale: its true height lies in the symbolic force that inhabits it. Its saturated sepia palette embraces the architecture, evoking the stillness of a suspended moment where all forms of art find a place to meet, grow, and flourish.The mural unfolds as a poetic map in which faces, gestures, and bodies transcend physical matter and become vessels for the spirit that interprets the languages of the soul.The work is composed of two interconnected scenes, allowing it to be experienced both from a distance and at close range by pedestrians passing alongside it or entering the cultural center.In the upper scene, a child plays a saxophone. With every note, a flock of birds seems to emerge and take flight into the air, symbolizing freedom and inspiration. Behind the child, the iconic masks of theater appear, completing the atmosphere and alluding to the interdisciplinary nature of artistic practice and its power to stimulate creative thought.Further down, a young girl holds a transverse flute. From the serenity of her music, a bird comes to rest, suggesting the harmony between musical creation and nature.At the roots of the mural, an Afro-Colombian woman performs a traditional dance, grounding the work in the living memory of a people and revealing the enduring legacy of Pereira’s multicultural identity. Alongside her, a ballet dancer traces the poetic force of movement with her body, while her foot—shaped through the discipline of dance—becomes one of the structural elements that visually supports the entire composition.Languages of the Soul celebrates the teaching-and-learning process: the intimate dialogue through which different artistic expressions find a shared path toward revealing what cannot always be seen.Here, art does not simply inhabit the Lucy Tejada Cultural Center. It inhabits the mural. It inhabits the viewer. It reminds us that every stroke, every sound, and every movement of the body can ultimately become a tangible translation of the language of the soul.
