This substantial little turtle is more a fine example of alebrije without having the slightly menacing look of many of them. the detail is amazing, and the expression on its face is wonderful - both knowing and olayful. The colors fit well with current decor while retaining a folk art feel.
I have now collected multiple pieces from this most gifted artist that keep my books company. The figures are simple and graceful, and the glazes used are lovely. My thanks to Duangkamol for sharing her talent.
Thank you, Mauricio. My friend loves her little bird of happiness. I couldn't resist buying it for her... She is such a lover of birds. I have purchased many of Mauricio's birds -- some for gifts and several for myself. Each one a true work of art.
