Mystic - Retired

The art prior to the colonization of Mexico and South America in 16th Century holds a particular fascination for lovers of art history. For more than twenty years, an award-winning Hispanic artist, Manuel Salas, Jr., has been exploring and experimenting with the remarkably vibrant colors – strong reds, bright blues – used for the designs, symbols and abstractions found on temple walls, precious objects and ceremonial clothing worn by the Mayans, Incas, Aztec and Zapotec. With "Mystic", a 6" ceramic figurine, he has connected imagery from those lost cultures to his own heritage.
