Mexico Folk Art Theme Signed Black and White Etching, "The Cactus Tequila Lotto"
Revered in Mexico for its fruit and presumed healing qualities, the nopal (cactus) is featured in card 27 of Marina Pallares' exclusive interpretation of Mexico's lotería. It is a unique version of the classic bingo game featuring traditional images. 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.

"Lovely little octopus!"
This is one of three pieces that I have bought of Marina Pallares work. I pretty much love all of her prints! This little octopus is super charming and makes me smile every time I look at it.

"“The Cat, Tequila Lotto”"
I recently received Marina Pallares “The Cat, Tequila Lotto” and couldn t be happier! Marina is a wonderfully clever artist whose works are thoughtful and in many ways unexpected. I have purchased several of her pieces, both for myself and as gifts, and will continue to do so.
