Sunflower Catrina Ceramic sculpture

Angel Ceron Artisan Association

(257)

Elegant Catrina strolls around the park under a wide-brimmed hat, parasol at hand. Artisans from the Angel Cerón Artisan Association conjure her flamboyant appearance inspired by the original work of José Guadalupe Posadas. A renowned author, journalist and political cartoonist (1852-1913), he created Catrina, (meaning "dapper") and her mate, Catrin, as caricature symbols of Mexico's politicians, implying that after all, they too die. Since then, Catrina has become an essential element of Day of the Dead celebrations but without the political underpinnings. She represents Mexico's comedic attitude towards death.

Part of NOVICA's Dia de los Muertos collection.

Marina Lozano of Mexico works in papier mache to create this delightful catrina statuette. The skeletal sculpture is elegantly attired, with flowers in her hair and one in her hand. The artisan designs the figurine after the original "La Calavera Catrina", a zinc etching created by the artist José Guadalupe Posada in Mexico around 1910. Posada created the character, a female skeleton with an elegant hat, as a satirical portrait of Mexican natives who aspired to European style and denied their own heritage. The catrina has since become an emblem of Mexico's Day of the Dead celebration and a popular folk art subject.

Catrina the Beautiful IS beautiful

This quirky and colourful sculpture is a real treasure. I love that she represents a dig at the hoi pilloi. She is well crafted and robust, making the journey to Australia without mishap. The removable head is a good feature. I bought her as a gift for my daughter but loved her so much that I have ordered another to keep. Thanks Angel.

Nice Sculpture !!
