Grand Catrina Extra Large Recycled Metal Catrina Sculpture

Armando Ramirez

(644)

This magnificent, eco-friendly sculpture is the original creation of Mexico's Armando Ramirez, who transforms recycled auto parts and scrap metal into remarkable works of art. This stunning catrina statue is elegantly clad in a long gown, fancy portrait hat, and jewelry. She holds a handbag with a floral accent. Making a statement for preserving the environment, Ramirez creates the statue with scraps of sheet metal and metal mesh, chain, and other assorted scrap.

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 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.

Perky Red Parrot Handmade Red Parrot Alebrije Sculpture from Mexico

Pablo and Lucy Mendez

(70)

A perky red parrot alights on a tree branch. With wings spread, it flaunts flirty feathers in bright primary colors. Pablo and Lucy Mendez carry on the traditional alebrije folk art they learned from their own parents to craft the beautiful bird.

Oaxaca's alebrije tradition derives from the art of Pedro Linares (1906-1992), a Mexico City papier mache artist. While in a coma during a serious illness, he found himself in a dream forest with fanciful creatures made with body parts from different animals. They cried, "Alebrije! Alebrije!" When he awakened, Linares crafted the figures in papier mache and his influence reached to Oaxaca, where they are carved from copal wood.

Because each sculpture is an individually created work of folk art, shapes are dictated by the wood branch and may vary slightly. The feathers and tree trunk are disassembled to protect them during shipping.

Ocotlan Owl Multicolored Owl Alebrije

Zeny and Reyna

(327)

Working in the traditional Oaxacan folk art style, Zeny and Reyna create this gorgeous alebrije sculpture. The wide-eyed owl is crafted from copal wood and painted with a dizzying array of motifs in a rainbow of colors. To achieve the fine detail, the artisans use a maguey thorn to paint the designs. 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 feverish 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. The art form gained popularity, and alebrijes are now made of wood as well as papier mache.

Absolutely gorgeous!

This is a beautiful work of art and a fantastic display piece. The pictures don't come close to how lovely this looks. My husband purchased it for Mother's Day for me, and I couldn't be happier with his choice. We've seen some beautiful art while in Mexico and this is among the best! Thank you.

Amazing Sculpture

This sculpture is beyond anything I expected. The detailed workmanship is absolutely amazing. It arrived within a few days of my order, and I could see that great care had been taken in packing the sculpture to ensure that it arrived safely. The person that will receive this as a gift is very interested in Aztec mythology and history, and I'm very excited to give this to him.
