Mixed media includes all works of art that incorporate a variety of materials and components in a single piece. Mixed media art is a work of art that combines acrylic paint with fabric and paper. Scrapbooking, sketchbooks, decoupage, greeting card design, and mixed media art journals are just a few examples of projects in which mixed media can be used. This artistic style dates back to the cubist creations of Pablo Picasso from 1912 to 1914, the root of the term itself, in its aesthetic sense, goes back to the artist Jean Dubuffet in the 1950s.

Description
Immerse yourself in the striking world of Guardian Kong, a contemporary sculpture that transcends mere decoration to become a vibrant and powerful work of art. Originally an industrial resin statuette, this piece is reborn in the artist's hands to embody all the power of a protective gorilla, a timeless symbol of strength and vigilance.
This gorilla sculpture is meticulously hand-painted using spray paint, a technique directly inspired by street art and pop art. Controlled projections of acrylic drips then energize the surface, creating an effect of movement and spontaneity, as if the gorilla itself were in a state of perpetual mutation.
Its vibrant colors evoke a cosmic, almost supernatural energy, making Guardian Kong not only a decorative object, but also a symbolic guardian, watching over its space with a mythical aura.
