This old and authentic Catrina figure represents a more traditional form of Catrina sculpting and artistry. Her individual features emulate the sculpting techniques artisan sculptors practiced many decades ago. From her rib cage and skull to the flowers on her sombrero and her fingers most elements are individually sculpted / shaped by hand the artist used very little molds to shape her attributes. She embodies a flair that is more traditional down to her cigarette.

This authentic Catrina sculpture is an incarnation of old world catrina sculpting. Where the artist utilizes basic tools to sculpt individual figures. To turn a mound of raw clay into the work of art you see here is an involved and technical process. Requiring a form of creativity from the artist that is both genuine and tedious. The end result is an original work of art comprised of small points of personal expression from the artist. Much like the way individual brush stroke's are indicative of a particular canvas painter. Whether it is the manner in-which the artist pinches tiny clay balls to form the knuckles of her hand or the gauge/weight of the spatula used to shape and plain her teeth.

This and all other Catrinas that Sra. Guadalupe Rosa sculpts are kiln fired for several hours in a traditional red brick oven. All of the sculptures within our Catrina Elegante collection are original works of art, each is created to represent several different facets of life, beliefs, professions and culture both present and past.
