Verdant green with pops of red: an anatomical heart with a Topo Chico bottle set in the middle of it, an arrow runs clean through with one drop of blood at the tip, 27 in the corner, which the numerologists will tell you adds up to nine, the number of the generous heart, and EL CORAZON across the bottom, all on a loose green-teal ground painted by Caya Crum. Lotería has been played at Mexican kitchen tables since the 1800s, the classic Don Clemente deck printed in 1887 has 54 numbered cards, and the heart has been card 27 ever since, so Caya kept the number where the real card has it. The caller sings a riddle instead of the name, and this card's goes, "No me extrañes, corazón, que regreso en el camión" or in inglés, "don't miss me, sweetheart, I'll be back on the bus," which is why El Corazón has always been the card everybody wants; it hangs as Mexican kitchen decor where people gather, argue and eat, and makes the valentine with an actual drop of blood in it.

Product FAQ
What is lotería?
A Mexican game of chance played with a deck of illustrated cards, the way bingo is played with numbers. A caller announces each card with a rhyme and everyone at the table covers their board with beans.
Why is El Corazón numbered 27?
That is the heart's actual seat in the traditional deck, and Caya kept the number where it belongs. The 27 in the corner is not decoration — anybody who grew up playing will check it first.
What kind of heart is in this painting?
An anatomical one — chambers, arteries, the whole plumbing — not the valentine shape. There is an arrow through it with a single drop of blood at the tip, and a green glass bottle standing in the middle of the chest.
What are the colors in this print?
A green-teal ground brushed loose enough that the strokes still show, red for the heart, and EL CORAZON lettered in black capitals across the bottom. It holds its own next to bright kitchen tile.
Will this look like an original painting or a print?
Crum Art takes the scanning and photographing of original paintings seriously — we work to capture the texture of the canvas or paper the original was created on, so that texture shows through in the print. Combined with the cotton rag paper’s own subtle surface and the hand-signing, many customers say they cannot tell if it’s an original or a print. That’s intentional. These are not flat digital reproductions — they are art prints that carry the soul of the original.
What sizes does this print come in?
Our art prints are available in standard rectangle and square sizes. Rectangles: 8x10 unframed matted to 11x14, 11x14 unframed, 16x20, 18x24, and 24x36. Squares: 8x8 unframed matted to 12x12, 12x12 unframed, 16x16, 20x20, and 24x24. Each size ships ready to frame, making it easy to find the right fit for your wall.
How do I make a gallery wall with art prints?
Start with an anchor piece and build outward — many Crum Art prints are part of series designed to group together as a statement gallery wall, or hang individually as standalone pieces. Since every image is sized to fit standard frames, mixing sizes is easy: lay the arrangement out on the floor first, keep about two to three inches between frames, and center the whole grouping at eye level.
