The watercolor illustration “KING OF HEART” is inspired by the mysterious and poetic symbolism of the tarot, dear to its creator Marin Montagut. It is available here as a decorative papier-mâché plate.
Developed in the 17th century, papier-mâché was the material of choice before the invention of plastic. Made of natural materials, it is still traditionally used today to create large heads and giant carnival figures, but it is also used by artists such as Jean Dubuffet in the 1960s or recently by contemporaries.
Inspired by this tradition, Marin Montagut imagined a series of decorative wall plates made by hand from papier-mâché in Paris. The collection is created and painted in watercolor by hand in the workshops of Marin Montagut in Montmartre. It is ideal for decorating your walls with rare and delicate pieces.
