Isaias Alejandro Morales Delgado: La Muerte en Equilibrio – Death in Balance

We are fortunate to have several new pieces in stock and ready to ship from premier paper artist Izzy Morales.  A major museum-quality display piece that is also functional. Per Izzy, “Inspired by death as the absolute truth in existence. It represents the duality that exists in each person and the perpetual dispute for the control of feeling and universal vision.

It is a helmet with two faces, the front part is a skull and the back part is a jaguar or Tecuán. From the main skull emerge two skeleton figures (a devil and an angel) and also has an “Ayotl” (heart) in the center of the forehead, has five “black” butterflies or “panteoneras” also commonly associated with death. He wears natural jute fibers as mustaches and has peyotes on the top of his head. It is mounted on a decorated base.”

Izzy Morales from Guanajuato is an amazing talent in the field of traditional paper alebrijes and he has developed a wild imaginative modern style all his own. He has been working with paper art since he was 6 years old. Now in his early thirties, he competes in national competitions with his award-winning work. These pieces are highly labor-intensive and he works exclusively on one of kind fine art wonders rather than taking a mass-produced commercial approach. It has paid off for him and he has developed into a well-respected artist nationally
