Stan Washburn Art
American, b. 1943
Stan Washburn was once described as "San Francisco's finest sixteenth-century artist". While the techniques bear favorable comparison with the old masters, there is a definite modern sense of wit and irony to his works. A multi-faceted artist, Washburn's etchings and paintings are in major collections throughout the country. His first novel, Intent to Harm, was a Book-of-the-Month Club selection in 1994.
In individual prints, and in his illustrated books, Washburn cleverly skewers human frailties with Renaissance-style engravings and tongue-in-cheek wit. PUBLIC COLLECTIONS (selected)

Surreal Botanical Portrait Print on Purple – Limited Edition Dibond
By Natasha Lelenco
Located in FISTERRA, ES
This surreal botanical portrait print by Natasha Lelenco belongs to her acclaimed Fetiches series. The limited edition print features a vibrant purple background and a surrealist figure with a cabbage for a head, adorned with a yellow beanie and insect companions. This whimsical character merges elements of nature, human anatomy, and humor, creating a surreal portrait that evokes both biophilia and dreamlike absurdity.
Inspired by the tradition of surrealism and the legacy of Arcimboldo, Lelenco's work pushes the boundaries of contemporary portraiture. The anthropomorphic form in this piece explores identity and our symbolic relationship with the natural world, making it an ideal fit for collectors of surrealist-inspired art.
Each Dibond direct UV print in the edition is individually hand-varnished, signed, and numbered on the reverse by the artist. Subtle hand-finished details and intense color saturation give this print a luminous, high-end presence. It is ready to hang with an integrated floating system, or can be framed to your preference.
About the Series
Fetiches is a series of surreal portraits that blend botanical elements with anthropomorphic forms. Lelenco’s works explore themes of memory, absurdity, and the kitsch imaginary of childhood, all filtered through a queer and eco-poetic lens. The figures, built from fruits, vegetables and organic matter, challenge traditional notions of beauty, identity, and belonging.
Technical Details
Technique: UV direct print on Dibond, hand-varnished
Edition: Limited to 25 copies, signed and numbered on the back
Dimensions: 30 x 40 cm
Finish: Floating mount, ready to hang

Floral Portrait with Tulip on Green Background - 25 Limited Edition Dibond Print
By Natasha Lelenco
Located in FISTERRA, ES
"Floral Portrait with Tulip on Green Background" is an original limited edition high-quality Dibond direct UV Print of the Natasha Lelenco`s artwork titled "Scatsong". This piece, like the entire "Fetishes" series, is inspired by the idea of biophilia and the belief that, according to the artist, humanity must be repositioned as just one part of nature rather than its center. Based on Natasha Lelenco's original acrylic on canvas artwork created in 2021, each print, numbered 25 of 25, captures a vibrant fusion of floral elements and anthropomorphic forms. The result is a visually striking and emotionally resonant piece. It is worth noting that the original artwork from which this limited edition print is derived is still available and can be purchased on 1stdibs. Lelenco has subtly hand-finished each print, sometimes adding small details or enhancing the background colors. The prints are varnished, signed, and numbered on the back, and come ready to hang with a simple system that gives the impression of the artwork floating on the wall. Customers also have the option to frame it if they prefer.
The artwork presents a striking silhouette composed of lush green leaves, a pink tulip, and other floral elements, set against a vivid green background. This combination of vibrant colors and intricate details showcases Lelenco's talent for transforming natural elements into extraordinary compositions, inviting viewers to explore the deeper connections between nature and human identity. The high-quality Dibond direct UV Print, finished and varnished by the artist herself, ensures durability and color quality, making this piece a lasting and valuable addition to any art collection. This edition is part of the "Fetiches" series, created by Lelenco since 2021, designed to work individually or as part of multiple panels with other pieces from the same series.
Natasha Lelenco's "Fetiches" series blends portraiture and anthropomorphic forms through a meticulous accumulation of elements. These components intertwine with nuanced thematic exploration, touching upon both kitsch and popular iconography, while delving into the inseparable connection between humanity and the broader living community. Drawing from her personal biography, Lelenco constructs a dialogue between memory and imagery. Through a skillful process, she resurrects fragments of her past to craft fresh narratives that challenge conventional perceptions of existence. This narrative depth, coupled with psychological complexity, echoes classical influences, seamlessly bridging the gap between Renaissance portraiture and contemporary expression. Notably, Lelenco's "Fetiches" series reflects the artistic echoes of Italian painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo.
