What is mgcruz.es?

Updated

mgcruz.es is the personal art website of M.G.CRUZ (Manuel Garcia de la Cruz), a ceramicist and painter. It is a portfolio-style site rather than a shop or service: it presents sculptures, ceramics, watercolors, and ink/Sumi-e works, with a contact form and a CV page. The site is in Spanish, with an EN language option in the navigation.

Who runs it and what it covers

The site is organized around the artist's own body of work. The homepage identifies the practice as "Pintura y Cerámica" (painting and ceramics) and groups the output into four main areas:

  • Esculturas — ceramic sculptures, listed under works such as Devas-I through Devas-IV
  • Cerámica — including Fuentes de Agua, Piezas de Porcelana, and Piezas de Rakú
  • Acuarelas — watercolors on paper and wood, with series like Mar-I, Mar-II, Maleta Perdida, Almendros en Flor, Sueños de Invierno, and Nenúfares
  • Tintas/Sumi-e — ink on rice paper and Sumi-e, with pieces such as Cenizas y tinta, Aloes, Luna y Bambues, Alpujarras, Amapolas, and Bambues

A Miscelánea section and a CV page sit alongside these, and a Contacto form is available for inquiries.

Materials and techniques mentioned

The site names specific ceramic processes and materials: gres (stoneware), porcelain, and raku. The raku connection is described in a section titled "Alquimia de Devas — Proceso de cocción con rakú," which points to the firing process behind the Devas sculptures. The painting side is described as watercolor on paper and wood, and ink work on rice paper in the Sumi-e tradition.

Navigation and language

The menu is straightforward and work-focused: Esculturas, Cerámica, Pintura, Galerías de obras, Tintas, Acuarelas, CV, and Contacto. A language toggle (EN) appears in the header, though the visible content is written in Spanish. The footer credits the work as "Haikus: oSane / © MGCruz 2025."

What it is not

The page evidence shows no pricing, no cart, and no payment platforms. Treat it as a viewing and contact site: you can browse the galleries and reach the artist through the contact form, but there is no indication of direct online sales or listed prices. If you want to know whether a piece is available or how to acquire it, the contact form is the route the site itself provides.
