Description :

This lot features a pair of authentic Mexican folk art paintings created on amate bark paper. Originating from Mexico, amate paper is a pre-Hispanic tradition kept alive by indigenous artisans, primarily from the states of Puebla and Guerrero. The paper itself is handmade by boiling and pounding the bark of trees such as fig or mulberry.
Description:
  • Piece 1: A vertical painting depicting a vibrant, stylized peacock-like bird with long, colorful tail feathers in hues of yellow, orange, blue, and fluorescent pink. It is surrounded by bright pink flowers and lush green foliage against the natural, earthy texture of the bark paper. The bird is shown in motion, with its wings raised. Measures 10"W x 14"H
  • Piece 2: A horizontal painting featuring a blue bird with intricate feather patterns and large, outstretched wings. The bird is perched among a mix of white flowers, red blossoms, and brown foliage. The composition showcases the bright, colorful style typical of amate paintings that often depict nature and wildlife. Measures 14"W x 10"H
Details:
  • Medium: Hand-painted on Amate bark paper
  • Theme: Mexican folk art, featuring birds and flowers
  • Condition: Good vintage condition, with the unique texture and slight imperfections characteristic of handmade bark paper.
  • Framing: Presented behind glass with metal holding the backing in place. It is recommended to be reframed to hang on a wall.
This pair of paintings would make a colorful and culturally rich addition to any collection of folk art, or a unique decorative element for a home or office.
