Description from the seller

The Mart Signed Museum
For years the Where Are You Street Art? project told the journey of street art through authentic fragments of urban walls, symbolically bringing the street inside homes, galleries and private collections.
With this new series comes The Mart Signed Museum, a natural evolution of my artistic research.
I asked myself what happens to a work of art when it finds its definitive placement. A museum protects it, preserves it and hands it over to the future, but at the same time it holds it back. It can remain hanging on the same wall for decades, watched by millions of people, without being able to continue its journey.
From this reflection arises the idea of a museum in which some works symbolically choose to break free. Each work appears as a fragment torn directly from the museum wall. Not only the artwork is taken away, but also a part of the wall that sheltered it, transforming the museum itself into an integral part of the artwork.
Each collector does not simply buy a painting, but an authentic fragment of the Mart Signed Museum, becoming the next stop on their journey.
The work
With The Real Proposal, a marriage proposal is presented as a museum work. An intimate and personal gesture becomes universal heritage, reminding us that some moments have a value that transcends time.
The Damascus wall, the frame, the museum label and the "No photography" sign are not mere decorative elements, but part of the artwork itself. The sign invites reflection on a society increasingly used to photographing every moment. Some moments, however, deserve first of all to be lived.
Materials and authenticity
Natural imperfections, marks and dents of the materials are not defects, but an integral part of the artwork. They tell their story and help make each piece unique.
The artwork is delivered ready to hang and comes with the certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
The artist
