Description
Mexican Folk Art
Huichol Art (Wixarika)
Huichol Art.- With the characteristic patience of the Huichol people, the artist's hands transform the tiny beads into beautiful motifs. The beads are adhered to the piece that has previously been covered with adhesive (campeche wax). The result is a true explosion of color, full of sacred symbols for the Huichol culture. A must-see for lovers of the rich culture of Mexico. The Huichol culture is guided by pre-Columbian shamanic traditions linked to ceremonies performed in its historical past. The hicuri (peyote) is the centerpiece of Huichol ritualism, revered for its healing properties and its ability to enlighten those who participate in it.
Technique: Beeswax is placed on the figure until it is completely covered, then beads or thread are glued one by one until it is complete; in its elaboration, the Huichol artist develops various drawings and symbols representative of his culture and traditions.
Maintenance: To prevent the tiny seed beads or thread from loosening and peeling off, do not expose this piece directly to heat or light, as this may melt the Campeche wax (beeswax) adhesive and cause damage to the piece.
