Dignity and Beauty – Sacred Heart
$28.00 – $740.00
All my work is done using the technique called collage (from the French coller), which translates “to paste,” which is an artistic technique that consists of the construction of plastic works through the agglomeration or conjunction of pieces or cutouts from different origins, “trying” to give a unified tone format. In other words, it is about assembling work with bits obtained from other sources such as photographs, illustrations, Artcraft, images in magazines, and everyday objects.
On a personal level, my artistic style is deeply rooted in Kitsch, a style known for its vibrant colors, bold shapes, and striking elements. I often incorporate illustrations from the public domain into my work. My fascination with antiquities and furniture is a recurring theme, evident in the costumes of my characters and the environments where my works’ narratives unfold.
My image sources can include images and cuttings from very old magazines that are passed through a scanner to be processed into digital format. Therefore, it is very possible that the final prints do not have uniform images and can have different textures.

The definition of a giclee is a beautiful, long-lasting technology for fine art or photograph reproduction. It uses a high-quality inkjet printer to make individual copies of different sizes and materials.

This image is a striking and intricate artwork that combines elements of nature, anatomy, and symbolism to create a captivating visual narrative. At the center of the composition is a detailed anatomical heart, rendered in rich red tones. The heart is portrayed with a high degree of realism, showcasing the veins, arteries, and textures that make it immediately recognizable as a human heart. This central element serves as the foundation for the rest of the imagery.
Emerging from the heart are vibrant, lifelike flowers. These blossoms include various types of flowers, such as roses and peonies, each meticulously detailed with delicate petals and lush greenery. The flowers seem to grow organically from the heart, intertwining with its structure and symbolizing a connection between human emotion and the natural world. The flowers are rendered in bright, contrasting colors, which stand out against the red of the heart and the purple background, adding a sense of vitality and beauty to the image.
In addition to the flowers, the heart is also adorned with birds and butterflies. A small bird is perched on one of the heart’s arteries, adding a whimsical and serene touch to the composition. The bird, rendered with soft feathers and gentle hues, appears to be singing or calling out, suggesting themes of life, freedom, and the interconnectedness of all living beings. Butterflies, with their delicate wings and intricate patterns, flutter around the heart and flowers, contributing to the sense of movement and liveliness. The butterflies are depicted in various colors, enhancing the visual diversity and richness of the image.
Below the heart, a banner unfurls, bearing an inscription that speaks to the deeper meaning of the artwork. The banner, elegantly draped and flowing, adds a classical and timeless element to the composition. The words on the banner, written in a stylish font, convey a message of intrinsic human values, connecting the physical representation of the heart with abstract concepts of virtue and aesthetics.
The background of the image is a solid purple, which provides a stark contrast to the red heart and the colorful flora and fauna. This choice of background color not only enhances the visibility of the central elements but also adds a sense of depth and focus to the composition. The purple hue evokes a sense of mystery, spirituality, and nobility, further enriching the symbolic layers of the artwork.
The overall composition is symmetrical and balanced, with the heart at the center and the surrounding elements radiating outwards. This symmetry contributes to the sense of harmony and order within the image, making it pleasing to the eye and reinforcing the themes of beauty and dignity.
The artist’s technique combines detailed line work with vibrant color application, creating a piece that is both visually arresting and rich in texture. The meticulous attention to detail in the rendering of the heart, flowers, birds, and butterflies showcases the artist’s skill and dedication to creating a lifelike yet imaginative scene.
