“Brujerias” is “witchcraft” in Spanish, and that is the starting point for Miss Van’s most recent pieces that she showed in Berlin. Her fine art pieces may be out of reach for some of us, but luckily, we can buy into the bewitching beauty of Miss Van’s art by purchasing prints or postcards that are now available on her fine art webstore, Princesas Market. The postcard set includes 5 different postcards from the “Brujerias” series and is limited to a production of 500 sets. Miss Van also produced giclee prints entitled: Brujerias 1, 2 and 3. The prints are numbered and signed and limited to sets of 75 each. I want everything that Miss Van makes, but as I’m not made out of money, at least I can have a little piece by collecting all the postcard sets . . . there are more online.

Miss Van is one of my favorite artists and I’m excited to announce that she has a show opening with new works opening in Berlin. I’m so sad that I won’t be able to go! If you live in Berlin, or are traveling there soon, this is a definite must see! Here is a description of the Canto Negro y Brujerias:
Merry Karnowsky Gallery Berlin is proud to present Canto Negro y Brujerias, featuring the paintings of Barcelona-based artists Miss Van (France) and Victor Castillo (Chile). The two unfold their unique but harmonious iconographies in a pictorial exercise of intersecting ideas. These artists approach from their personal perspectives subjects like seduction, desire, enchantment, and the game of infantile cruelty. The title of the exhibition attempts to unite these proposals and at the same time, alludes to Spanish culture, superstition and witchcraft as basic context, and dark invocations of common ghosts.
