The definition of art imitating life. The iconic face of the renowned, beloved, and tortured Frida Kahlo, creatively interpreted into this wall hanging sculpture. We call this the Tropical edition, sculpted from kiln fired ceramic. Each wall hanging sculpture is equipped to hang on the wall, and includes a set of hand painted ceramic earrings.

Hand painted with rich and life like colors by our talented Devotion artist Rafael Pineda. To say that Rafael has been inspired by Frida throughout his life as a master ceramist would be a mis characterization. Kahlo's talent to transform life experiences into art unlike any that existed before it, this ability exists within many talented artisans of Mexico. At times Rafael pay's homage to the complex painter of portraits whom inspired generations of Latin American artisans.

A whimsical collection of hand-painted terracotta/ceramic sculptures and artifacts. These jovial and vibrant sculptures are Artisan Sculpted from earthenware fired in a large kiln, and individually free-hand-painted. The Devotion Collection is a collaborative labor of love between Rafael Pineda and Zenwaro. All of the signature designs in this collection have a story of “Devotion” that inspired their creation. Whether it be Devoted to love, the Devotion of a furry companion, or the devotion towards a belief, a craft, a heritage, a lifestyle, and everything in-between. One of Rafeal’s devotions is using his hands to transform raw earth into original sculptural art with meaning. Many pieces are fused with metal wires allowing the ceramic accents (wings, thorns, flower, figures) to be manipulated. A level of thoughtful artistry that invites you to adjust/manipulate/maneuver the sculptural elements to your liking.

Every sculpture, every figure is individually hand-molded from raw earth then fired within a large traditional red brick kiln that is heated naturally by wood. Every sculpture is hand painted in a variety of colors. Some colors are intensely vibrant, others more earthly in tone, some are embellished with bright silver and gold metallic paints. After the illustrative process pieces are loaded back into the kiln for the final bake. Forever bonding the colors with the clay. The Devotion collection is a true combination of old world craftsmanship & whimsical artistry.
