MAGNIFICENT MULTI COLORED OWL WOOD CARVING

BY WORLD FAMOUS MASTER ARTIST

JULIA FUENTES

THE ONLY CARVING ARTIST FROM ALL THREE TRADITIONAL VILLAGES TO HAVE ATTENDED THE FAMOUS BELLA ARTES ART SCHOOL IN MEXICO

This owl is incredible! Such power packed into this carving! The wings are just simply amazing! The sense of flight and movement is just awe inspiring! I love the brown with blue, red and purple shades in this owl! A beautiful color scheme. I also love the awesome geometric designs that vary throughout the piece, and the adorable face! This owl is a great example of the work of the very talented Julia Fuentes and her husband Jose Juan. Julia is part of the world renowned Fuentes Family, including Epifanio Fuentes, Zeny Fuentes and Efrain Fuentes. Julia Fuentes actually used to do the painting on her brother Zeny\'s pieces, until branching out on her own just a few years ago. In my opinion, Julia has surpassed her brothers in her talent in the painting of these wood carvings. Julia actually studied at Bellas Artes... a famous art institution in Mexico! Wow! We were amazed at the beauty of her pieces when we first saw them, and are so excited to be able to share them with the world. They never disappoint, and always seem to increase in beauty and detail. The shading technique that she uses in her artistry is just amazing. One of the most incredible aspects of her work is that she has managed to elevate the art form to more of a fine art approach, while maintaining the beautiful whimsy that one finds in Mexican Folk Art. You can definitely see the trademark style of her family in her work still, and it is fantastic seeing another family member keeping these traditions alive. Being from an up and coming, truly talented artist, this Owl carving will make a great and unusual addition to your collection! There are no removable parts.This wood carving has been signed by both Jose Juan and Julia... a truly delightful young couple! There are two sizes for Julia\'s smaller line of owls. Previously we only carried the smaller of the two, but fell in love with the chubbier style of body on these, and how much more intricate the painting is. For only a slightly higher price, you get a great value in the beauty of the piece. Approximate Measurements: 7 3/4\" high x 5\" long x 4 3/4\" deepArtist: Julia Fuentes, Oaxaca, Mexico
