Artisan Catrin Artisan Ceramic Statuette from Mexico

Jorge Escamilla

(2)

Life imitates art, as is evident in this terrific sculpture from Mexico's Jorge Escamilla. The ceramic and wire catrin figure is clad in a work apron as he crafts his own catrina from clay. Escamilla pays tribute to José Guadalupe Posada with his delightful statuette.
The original "La Calavera Catrina" was 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 to lampoon 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.

Audacious Hen Handmade Hen Alebrije Sculpture

Jesus and Roxana Hernandez

(98)

This brightly colored hen is the work of artisans Jesus and Roxana Hernandez in Mexico, who preserve the distinctly Oaxacan folk art form of alebrijes. The sculpture is carved by hand from copal wood before being carefully painted with a dizzying array of colorful motifs.

The folk art tradition of alebrijes dates back to the 1930's in Mexico City. A man named Pedro Linares was taken ill, and in his fevered dreams he saw a strange land populated with curious creatures--a donkey with wings, a rooster with bull's horns, and a lion with the head of a dog. The beasts all ran at him, shouting the nonsense word,"alebrije! alebrije!". Upon his recovery, Linares began recreating the fantastical creatures he had seen in his dream in papier mache. The art form gained popularity, and alebrijes are now made of wood as well as papier mache.

Ceramic sculpture, 'La Catrina Gabriella'

Jose

Nov 15, 2021

A beautiful Catrina.

This is a very nice Catrina. What impressed me the most is that given my past experience with this type of ceramics, I was hesitant to order it just because I was afraid it may not make it on the shipping. Well, I had to use my old dissection skills to unwrap it. The packaging was superbly done. Now to the piece, it is as beautiful as it shows in the picture. It is elegant and genuinely "coqueta."

Coqueta! Impressibly Beautiful!

Perfect for My Expanding Cactus Collection

This is a nicely sized, colorful pot perfect for holding one of my cactus plants. The colors are perfect for my home. I love the little bull skull under the cactus on the vase. The design is on both sides and there is a nice sized drainage hole on the bottom. It's well made and looks even better in person.
