Marina Pallares exalts Mexican customs in her original Tequila Lotto series, inspired by the classic loteria game, or bingo. Card 20 features a sombrero, a guitar, a trumpet, a bottle of tequila and the traditional sarape. The loteria made its appearance in the second half of the 18th century, and it is still a favorite at schools, fairs, carnivals and festivals. "I grew up in Jalisco, known for the production of tequila from agave plants, and as a child I used to play lotería all the time. These two facts inspired me to create the 'Tequila Lotto' series," confides Pallares, who credits the influence of Leopoldo Méndez and José Guadalupe Posada in her work. She masters aquafortis and aquatint etching techniques to create this eloquent composition.
Titled "El sarape" in Spanish

I loved this artwork. I think it is inspirational. And the embossed birds flying out of the birdcage makes it particularly unique. If you are on the fence, I would definitely buy.

I love it, its bigger than I thought but beautifully detailed! My only complaint is that it came without the certificate of authenticity. Love Marina Pallares work I owe a few of her pieces
