Urban Relic — 2026
Original Mixed Media Artwork | Eroded Pop Art & Wabi-Sabi
A fragment of urban memory, a discarded object, and the beauty of what remains.
Urban Relic brings together two seemingly different worlds: the architectural heritage of Barcelona and the unmistakable visual language of contemporary consumer culture.
On one side, the geometric impressions inspired by Barcelona's iconic Panot pavement tiles emerge through layers of aged ivory, subtle patinas, and eroded textures. On the other, a crushed red can introduces an unexpected burst of colour — a familiar everyday object transformed into a symbol of time, consumption, and impermanence.
The contrast is deliberate. Architectural memory meets disposable culture. Permanence meets fragility. The vibrant energy of Pop Art encounters the quiet, imperfect beauty of Wabi-Sabi.
Through his distinctive Eroded Pop Art approach, Sergio Aranda combines mixed media techniques, layered surfaces, distressed finishes, and contemporary urban imagery to explore how objects and materials carry the traces of human experience.
Rather than celebrating perfection, Urban Relic finds beauty in what has been worn, forgotten, or transformed. Its restrained palette, tactile surfaces, and striking red focal point create a composition that feels both nostalgic and unmistakably contemporary.
A unique original artwork that brings together urban history, modern Pop Art, and the poetry of imperfection.

Art Care & Preservation
Art Care & Preservation
- Display & Lighting: While the archival varnish provides high-end UV protection, we highly recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to direct, harsh sunlight. To fully appreciate the shifting shadows of the sculptural gesso, display the piece under high-quality ambient lighting or dedicated LED art spotlights.
- Dusting & Cleaning: Due to the rich, sand-crusted organic texture, dust may settle over time. Never use water, liquid cleaners, damp cloths, or chemical solvents on the surface. To clean, gently sweep the textured relief using a dry, clean, soft-bristled brush (such as a premium makeup brush or a soft hake paintbrush).
- Humidity & Temperature: Fine art canvases thrive in stable environments. Display your painting in spaces with controlled humidity and temperature. Avoid hanging the artwork directly above heavy heat sources (like active fireplaces or radiators) or in high-moisture rooms like small, unventilated bathrooms.
- Handling: When moving or hanging your artwork, always hold it securely by the wooden stretcher bar edges. Avoid pressing directly against the center of the canvas to protect the structural tension and the delicate, raised mineral reliefs.
