About the Wall Art

Fine Art Prints

Wall Art Info

Forget cheap reproductions and printable posters. Only the best will do. Velvety matte fine art paper (warm white, archival-grade, 200gsm) with bold, vibrant, non-toxic pigment inks. 

High-definition print lab techniques give you sharper details, deeper saturation and true-to-life tones.

The matte surface keeps glare down and archival-grade materials mean the colors you fall for stay vivid for decades.

Framed Fine Art Prints

Wall Art Info

Your print arrives framed and ready to hang, so it goes straight from the box to your wall.

Chevron cut wooden frames make a timeless statement in three distinctive colors: black, white and natural.

Each frame is made of sustainably sourced FSC® certified European knotless pine, finished with ultra-clear perspex glaze that’s lighter than glass and shatter-resistant.

Float Framed Canvas Prints

Wall Art Info

Luscious artist-grade cotton canvas, hand-stretched and finely textured, gives every detail depth and precision. Its natural white surface catches light and color with striking clarity.

A precisely measured floating frame leaves a slim gap around the canvas, so it seems to hover with a sleek, gallery-worthy effect.

Your choice of a black, white or natural frame: all made from sustainably sourced FSC® certified European knotless pine.

Giclée Printing

Wall Art Info

Forget 4 color CMYK. Giclée layers up to 12 — alive with deeper shadows, richer highlights and multidimensional contrasts. 

Pro-lab printing process helps art stay bold & breathtaking for up to 100 years.

Neo pigment, water-based inks are 100% non-hazardous and toxin-free. Meeting the strictest industry standards as defined by Oeko-Tex 100 safety applications, Residues Standard List (RSL) and the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists.

About the Artwork

The goalkeeper is already airborne when you arrive. Gloved fists climbing toward a scuffed leather ball, rose-pink jersey pulled tight over his ribs, a cap clinging to his head. Ángel Zárraga worked on Futbolistas en el llano across four Paris years between 1924 and 1928, and the Mexican painter from Durango chose no stadium for it. He chose the llano: a scraped field at the city’s working edge, hemmed by smokestacks and a gasworks silhouette, an advertising board spelling half a word in vermilion that nobody will stay to read.

Three men share the grass in different states of grace. The forward in sea-green turns his back on us, white shorts catching the gray light. Below him a player in crimson has gone down hard, jaw clenched, one boot hooked skyward above maroon and indigo stripes.

Zárraga carried Cubist pressure out of Montparnasse into these faceted limbs, tipping the pitch upward like a tray. Interwar Europe made a cult of the athletic body. He answered with a wet ball held one second from falling.

Origin Story

Ángel Zárraga was a Mexican painter born in the Barrio de Analco, Victoria de Durango. After studying at Mexico City’s Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes, he travelled to Europe in 1904, exhibiting in Spain, France and Italy, including the Museo del Prado and the 1909 Biennale di Venezia. A founding member of El Ateneo de la Juventud, he settled in France in 1911.

From 1914 he painted in a Cubist style; after 1921, Cézanne and Giotto reshaped it, though Girl with Cherry Tart (1922) carries Cubist tendencies. In Paris he painted murals at the Château de Vert-Cœur and the Cité Internationale Universitaire, and decorated the Mexican embassy. Returning home in 1941, he painted murals at the Club de Banqueros and Monterrey Cathedral. His work joined the 1928 and 1932 Olympic art competitions, and a Durango museum bears his name.
