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
