A material mix at small scale
Mixed media in sculpture joins what otherwise stays apart: metal, wood, resin, textile, found object. Mixed media sculptures for sale under 500 euro are for those who love surprise in material and form.
Small mixed media sculptures often combine castings with found objects, pieces of wood with metal, scraps of fabric with resin. Each substance contributes its own surface: gloss, rust, roughness, fuzz. The whole is made with adhesive, screw, wire or resin and has to hold. Especially appealing are works in the style of urban and pop, where resin plays with paint and found objects.

Keeping durability in mind
Ask which materials were used and how they are fixed. Delicate parts such as paper or fabric should be protected from light and moisture, metal parts from condensation. Note dimensions and weight and watch for stability. Clean carefully with a dry brush. Collectors who start small often like the variety in mixed media: each piece tells a different combination.
