About this Item
Two agave plants line the entrance to the Colonial church in card 33 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.
Titled "El templo" in Spanish

“Amazing”
4 inches was smaller than I expected - read the details just didn t measure it with my hands. Loved the photo, the print is even better. I may have only 1 cat, but my walls say cat lady!

“More Beautiful In Person”
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.

“Fire and Sea”
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
