"This portrait is inspired by working women like this one, who don't the life's obstacles stop them. They find a way to be able to bring in some money to feed their families, and they struggle to give their children a life of dignity," Juan Carlos Moreno says. The Nicaraguan artisan depicts a merchant woman in a colorful mosaic collage. Recycling dried corn husks from the year's harvest, he dyes the natural fibers and mounts the composition on card stock. A coat of resin protects the images, which are presented in a mat board passe-partout.

“Gorgeous and really neat!”

I love art that is done in unusual modalities especially when it provides a sense of texture. Mr. Morenos corn cob husk collage is beautiful and also really interesting look at up close. This particular piece also fits standard frame sizes well, so I hung it in my bedroom almost immediately.

“Looks wonderful in my meditation room!”

This is stunning! Parrots are my power animal, so this vibrant, well-crafted piece of art is perfect near my shamanic medicine tools. I would definitely order from this artist again!
