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
Captain America in LEGO, by qargo
Captain America by qargo in LEGO is a sculpture composed of over 14,000 LEGO® bricks, assembled by hand. Each brick becomes a unit of meaning, emphasizing the importance of the artistic gesture. The work reinterprets the hero, embodying courage, loyalty, and justice. The frontal portrait of the superhero, his blue helmet, and his determined gaze become an icon. The blue, cream, and white colors symbolize his values: reliability, warmth, and purity of intention.
The back of the sculpture features a QR code, a link to digital content, and the inscription "Rogers" recalls the hero's humanity. This interactive dimension transforms the work into a living medium, questioning collective memory and new forms of transmission.
Through this work, qargo explores a modular visual language, deconstructing the myth of the hero. Captain America by qargo invites a dialogue between materiality, commitment, and memory.
