"Represento un jaguar intrépido contra un cielo estrellado. Es uno de los animales más bellos que existen: fuerte, poderoso, con una mirada profunda". Marina Pallares confiesa. Trabajando en blanco y negro, crea una impresión en linóleo a pequeña escala. El felino ocupó un lugar especial en muchas culturas mesoamericanas. Habitante de la península de Yucatán, el pequeño gato moteado era venerado por los antiguos mayas, que lo llamaban Balam. Los famosos guerreros jaguar aztecas, una infantería de élite compuesta por nobles prehispánicos, usaban cascos con la forma del jaguar, o oceótl. Y el "hombre-jaguar" olmeca —mitad humano, mitad gato— es un tema recurrente en su arte.

Beautiful and detailed jaguar on VERY high quality paper. I have her little dog, parrot, and octopus prints also, and they are all great. Because it s a little print, I framed using an 8x8 mat and frame.

I have two other prints by Marina Pallares, and I love them both. This small linoleum block print is no exception. It looks even better in person, with a remarkable level of detail, and I cant wait to get it framed.
