Iberia Airlines has a rich history of intertwining Spanish art with aviation, celebrating the nation's cultural heritage through collaborations with iconic artists like Joan Miró and Pablo Picasso.
In 1981, Iberia played a pivotal role in repatriating Picasso's masterpiece, Guernica, transporting it from New York's MoMA to Madrid aboard a Boeing 747 named "Lope de Vega."
Miró’s signature use of primary colors and organic shapes reflects the boundless imagination and joy found in Spanish art, echoing the freedom and innovation of flight. Each stroke is a nod to Spain’s artistic legacy, while the dynamic patterns evoke the fluidity and connection that aviation brings to the world.
The airline's collaborations serve as flying canvases, carrying Spain's artistic legacy across the globe, a testament to the enduring relationship between art, travel, and the human spirit
