This bark painting is a stellar example of a bustling country scene including deer, goats, chickens, farming, cows, a small wedding scene.  Flowers and villagers too numerous to count!

Bark paintings are created using papel amate or paper made from bark.  The colorful subject matter are birds and animals or festive scenes from Mexican life such as weddings, farming, festivals and nature.  This painting is done by Nahua Indian artists Agustine and Agustina Martinez in the Mexican state of Guerrero.  The detail and  color combinations are lovely.  These bark paintings are easily framed with a complimentary  mat.

We pride ourselves on nurturing a relationship with the artist and providing steady work.  See our ‘Fair Trade’ page for more information on our policies.
