Each of the sculptures shown above is well and individually handcrafted in wood with a ink-type semi-transparent coloring. They reflect the wood and their makers. We chose them because they are works of art and heart no matter the size or cost.
Creating these pages for LivelyArts Gallery on the Web is a wonderful experience, to study each animal, to be enchanted by their beauty of concept, form, color, and workmanship. Yet these objects seem to flow from the artists rather easily with only the natural form of the wood, a machete and a pocket knife. The work is often a family affair with the father and sons carving, the mother and daughters painting. This work is done in the simple surroundings of the family's home, usually on a farm, immediately in the presence of great natural beauty. Time is taken for the necessary chores of the home and farm. There is something very basic about the artists that allow great simplicity, strength and humor to grow in each piece.
When you live around this art day by day, these strengths come into your life. A moment with any of the art we offer in LivelyArts can bring a feeling of release in our hectic lives, a moment of return to simplicity in our complex lives.
The staffs of LivelyArts Gallery and our cooperating galleries in Mexico have been immersed in Mexican folk art for many years. We select only the finest, most interesting and most charming original art for your office or home. Such art retains its interest and value. We believe art should bring pleasure continually. We choose such art for ourselves and to offer you.
