Mexican Folk Art

How to Choose

The major distinction: celebratory versus ceremonial. Bright, pattern-based folk art — flowers, birds, geometric designs — is purely celebratory and works in kitchens, living rooms, and dining areas with equal ease. Dia de los Muertos imagery is ceremonial in origin but visually extraordinary, and works particularly well for collectors who appreciate the tradition's relationship between life and death.

The colour saturation in Mexican folk art makes it a natural anchor for a room. A 24x36 inch piece on a white or neutral wall needs nothing else. At 16x24 inches, multiple pieces in a gallery wall arrangement work beautifully.
