Despite all these trips and having lived in several countries,Marc Chagall always had very fresh memories of his hometown,his people, and his community, since in many of his works can be seen the figures and characters of that rural Belarus of his time, where in his daily work of making and carrying life, he portrayed the nature and daily life of people.

In addition to these images and portraits of everyday life, Chagall always found reasons and moments in his paintings to send messages of his Jewish and religious conception of the world.In his paintings, there are frequently figures or characters that evoke his conception of the world, which give a message of justice, love, and reconciliation among humanity.

An example of this is the cycle of violinists in which, in the one called Green Violinist, the violinist's skin is green as a symbol of naivety.since in Hebrew this color is associated to that characteristic.In other paintings, there are villages, animals, and other people that complement the images.Chagall proposes a magical world, frequently described by fables where music has the power of transformation through harmony, which aims to balance the contradictions between men and their relationship with nature.
