LIRIOS

Ignacio Alvaro's "LIRIOS" gathers clusters of pale, petal-shaped fragments — stitched fabric, fine cord, and fired ceramic — across a 154 × 108 cm mixed media canvas. Each form sits raised from an earth-toned ground, its edges hand-sewn rather than painted in, so the flower shapes read as constructed objects as much as images. Thread traces the outline of every petal, visible where the stitching catches the light.

"Lirios" — lilies — softens Alvaro's usual register of rupture into something closer to offering. The vessel fragments and torn textile that anchor much of his practice appear here again, but arranged toward bloom rather than break. The gesture of sewing, central to his work, reads as tending rather than mending, each repaired form set like a flower gathered from wreckage rather than left among it.

For collectors, "LIRIOS" is an accessible point of entry into Alvaro's material vocabulary — the same fragments of memory and identity that anchor his larger installations, scaled here into a single, quietly composed cluster of stitched and fired forms. Its restraint makes it well suited to intimate domestic settings as much as gallery walls.
