AMAPOLA CORE No.4B "La Petite Series". Painting

LA PETITE SERIES is a limited edition of smaller format original reproductions of the best-selling artworks from previous and current series, pieces that, due to their large sizes many collectors could not acquire because they did not have spaces to hang them. Over the last four years I've received feedback from hundreds of interested buyers asking when would I produce smaller formats? The artworks that belong to this edition are related to the series inspired by the indigenous peoples of Mexico that I have studied for years and which much of my current series is inspired from. In this first stage I will produce circular format pieces of 120 cm in diameter x 4 cm deep. Later I will produce slightly smaller pieces also, and for those interested in smaller pieces, I am currently accepting commissions. Depending on the theme and the characters that make up my stories within a series, I usually divide them into families, separating them (the characters) by their composition and morphology, in this way I structure my series more clearly without losing the guiding discourse of it. AMAPOLA CORE and MADRE are fundamental characters in the series because it highlights the morphological qualities of the flower and the mystical and sociocultural meaning that it has both in the beliefs of indigenous communities and at the same time its influence on Western culture. Amapola Core No.4B is a piece that I reproduced from its original size of 190 cmø to a smaller format of 120 cm ø x 4 cm and it's one two variants based in the original. All the artworks in this edition are painted with natural pigments from the indigenous communities from which I inspire my work.
