Originals in this selection, Mixed-media, Graphic, illustrative and typographic, under 500 euro.
Formats from 30 x 30 to 30 x 40 cm.
Layers with a system
Mixed media brings paint, drawing, and material together in one piece, and in a graphic style that produces a dense picture structure. If you want to find graphic mixed-media paintings under 500 euro for sale, expect layers of acrylic, pen, paper, and lettering.
A work might begin with ink, carry torn paper, show stenciled words, and end with a marker. The graphic order holds it together: grids, lines, or recurring shapes give the mixture a backbone. Traces like fingerprints, glue edges, or pencil lines are part of the appeal.

Read it near and far
From a distance, composition counts; up close you find details like printed scraps or scratch marks. The piece gains when it hangs at eye level and catches light from the side. A neutral frame lets the content do the talking.
Settle the material questions
Different materials age differently. Ask whether lightfast colors were used and how adhesives or papers are stabilized. Originals at this price level typically stay at modest sizes and rarely fill a whole wall. A photo of the back shows how the piece is built.
