About the Item

In Guardianes Bordados (Embroidered Guardians), Mariu Palacios constructs a quietly powerful figure through a rich collage of embroidered textiles, woven fabrics, sculptural paper, and photographic fragments. The seated form, with its face obscured by wrapped cloth, evokes themes of ritual, memory, and protection. Layer by layer, Palacios builds a visual language rooted in cultural identity—each texture suggesting a story, each fragment carrying a past. The interplay of softness and structure, opacity and exposure, creates a striking tension that draws the viewer in. This work reflects the artist’s ongoing exploration of ancestral memory and craft, where stitching becomes both symbol and gesture. Poetic, tactile, and deeply intentional, Guardianes Bordados stands as a unique meditation on lineage, care, and the invisible threads that bind us.

Alain Kleinmann - Memories
By Alain Kleinmann
Located in Collonge Bellerive, Geneve, CH
Alain Kleinmann Oil painting and mixed media 80 x 65 cm without frame 84 x 100 cm framed Alain Kleinmann is a true master in capturing the time flow within beautiful painting and installations. his unique approach to art is both sensorial and conceptual, expressed through complex pieces that feature high historical content and extremely rich textures. By mixing different techniques such as drawing, collage, writing and engraving, kleinmann is able to subtly evoke tactile emotions and memories from the past. His paintings are like sculptures and his sculptures have a certain pictorial feel, obtained through special treatments and polishing processes. The metamorphosis of the years, memories that fade away, life experiences forgotten and somehow re-discovered, traditions and cults shape the art of kleinmann and his symbolism, which touch the visitors deeply in their souls.
