Paper Mache Dragon

Description

Paper Mache Dragon made of paper and paper clay. It is a hollow structure without armature. It is covered in a heavy coat of resin for extra protection and durability adding a glossy finish to it. Hand painted with acrylic.

I was born in Mexico, spent my 20’s in Chicago and have lived in Austin, Texas for many years now. I paint what I see in my dreams, my subconscience and can be described as a surrealist. The stories I see come from the tradition of magical realism we experience in Latin America. I love folk art, especially what comes from the Day of the Dead genre and calaveras make their way into my paper mache art along with mermaids, dinosaurs, and wild creatures. I also make silver jewelry that has an industrial feel.
