About the Item

This mixed media wall piece merges textile sculpture, embroidery, and painting in a poetic composition that plays with scale, texture, and symbolic transformation. Crecer y menguar forms part of María Magán’s dreamlike series Ni antes ni después, where visual elements from the domestic realm are distorted into surreal objects of perception. A soft, elongated textile shape—resembling a tail or tendril—emerges from floral cotton fabric, stitched irregularly with yellow thread. Suspended in dialogue is a round embroidery hoop containing a yellow smoke-like form, painted with translucent layers, suggestive of transformation, evaporation, or metamorphosis. The composition references the bodily shifts experienced by Alice in Alice in Wonderland—a visual metaphor for hormonal, psychological, or perceptual fluctuations. Magán draws on Lewis Carroll’s narrative logic, where growing and shrinking are not merely changes in scale, but symptoms of deeper instability and wonder. Through delicate textile manipulations and intuitive visual associations, the piece explores how the domestic space can become a stage for the fantastical and the grotesque. Executed in cotton fabric, painted wood, and embroidery, the piece is lightweight and ready to hang. Its muted palette, interrupted by the striking yellow embroidery and transparent golden painting, enhances its quiet dissonance and conceptual layering. Crecer y menguar stands as a sensual and psychological tableau, blurring the line between object and organism, surface and symbol.

Mixed-Media Wall Sculpture foam clay, acrylic enamel on wood. "In a While"
By Vera Vizzi
Located in FISTERRA, ES
IN A WHILE (2025) is a small-scale, wall-mounted mixed-media sculpture by Vera Vizzi that transforms a familiar domestic object into a sculptural encounter. Hand-modeled in foam clay and applied onto a compact wooden block (25 x 9 x 10 cm), the work is finished with layered acrylic paint and enamel marker decoration along the extruded “tube” form. The piece foregrounds tactile surface, color contrast (white base with red/yellow graphic motifs) and a vertical, relief-like silhouette that reads equally as objet d’art or a focused accent on a gallery wall. Conceptually the work frames an everyday action — squeezing a tube — as a compressed temporal event: small gestures that compress time and meaning.

Mixed Media Floral Oil Painting Collage Bouquet of Flowers
By Jacques Lamy
Located in Surfside, FL
Born in Paris in 1946 and raised in the heart of an idyllic French countryside near the Loire Valley, Jacques Lamy began painting at a very early age. Jacques completed his formal artistic training at the prestigious Ecole Nationale Superieur des Arts Decoratifs (Paris) in 1971. While there, he received the highest peer recognition in European Arts; the coveted Prix de Rome award for painting. Jacques Lamy’s career as an artist, designer and art teacher took him from his native France to life abroad in Spain, Africa, and the United States. His broad artistic interests and his classic training in art and design have enabled him to enjoy a wide variety of artistic experiences from designing furniture, lamps, tapestries, and elegant garden statuary to creating large scale murals for public viewing and enjoyment. in addition to his renowned mural work, Jacques received international recognition for his decorative fresco paintings. Jacques personal artistic style is very much a melding of old and new – a merging of a classically trained artist with a modern artistic vision. The medium is multi-media and the composition has a modern, abstract quality but the Old World training in design and composition lends the whole an air of classical grace. Examples can be seen in his studio-gallery in Dallas, Texas. ​Art Education Ecole National Superieure des Arts Decoratifs – Paris Art Teaching Casa de Velasquez – Madrid, Spain.
