Mexican Huichol art: hundreds of hours of manual labor and patience
Huichol art broadly groups the most traditional and most recent innovations in the folk art and handcrafts produced by the Huichol people, who live in the states of Jalisco, Durango, Zacatecas and Nayarit in Mexico.
They use colorful decorative symbols and designs which date back centuries ago. This extraordinary beautiful art form is millennia’s old and every piece of art has its own spiritual meaning.
The most common products are "yarn paintings" and objects decorated with small commercially produced beads. You can find Huichol art tables yarn, figures lined beads, necklaces made with beads, bracelets, earrings, pectorals and more.
The artwork, so vibrant in color and rich in symbolism, comes from the world of magic and myth...yeah that´s Huichol art.
The price for these items is really high, it´s about thousand pesos even for small objects.
Here’s a brief pictorial introduction to their work. Enjoy!
Stay awesome and Steem on!
