Description
The Monos Sabios is a set of three 24cm polyresin monkey figurines, each hand-finished with multicolour graffiti-style artwork that reinterprets the traditional 'see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil' trio. One monkey covers its eyes with comic-style graphics and bold colour splashes, another holds its ears with red gloss detailing and 'OH!' text, and the third covers its mouth with blue and orange patterns. The three figures share a unified pop-art aesthetic while each carries distinct colour schemes and graphic treatments.
Designed as accent pieces rather than functional objects, the set suits console tables, shelving units, mantels and desk surfaces in living rooms, home offices and gallery wall displays. The 15cm width and 17cm depth footprint per figurine means they can be grouped closely together or spaced apart across a shelf run. The combined weight of 2.82kg across the three pieces gives stability on flat surfaces without needing adhesive fixing. The polyresin construction allows the intricate hand-painted details — facial features, graphic text, colour transitions — to be rendered with precision.
The graffiti finish references street-art aesthetics and pop-art traditions, making the set a fit for contemporary, eclectic and maximalist interiors where bold colour and graphic statement pieces are welcome. Each monkey's surface treatment includes layered patterns, text fragments and contrasting colour zones that shift the traditional Japanese proverb into a modern visual language. The finish is applied by hand, so minor variation in paint application between individual sets is normal.

Frequently Asked
What material are the figurines made from?
Each monkey is cast from polyresin, a composite material that allows detailed moulding and hand-painting. The finish is applied over the cured resin base, giving the vibrant colour and graphic detail visible in the graffiti treatment.
Can the figurines be displayed outdoors?
No. Polyresin is not UV-stable and the hand-painted finish will fade and degrade under direct sunlight and moisture. The set is designed for interior display only.
Are the three monkeys identical in design?
No. Each monkey represents one of the three traditional poses (covering eyes, ears or mouth) and carries a different colour scheme and graphic treatment. The left monkey has multicolour comic-style graphics, the centre monkey has red gloss detailing with 'OH!' text, and the right monkey features blue and orange patterns.
How should the figurines be cleaned?
Wipe gently with a dry microfibre cloth to remove dust. For more stubborn marks, a barely-damp cloth is acceptable, but avoid soaking the polyresin or using household cleaners, which can damage the hand-painted finish.
