Isaias Alejandro Morales Delgado: Lupio (Con la Muerte en la Garganta)

We are fortunate to have several new pieces in stock and ready to ship from premier paper artist Izzy Morales.  This is a scene in which a “Lupio” escapes from the mine he stole from, in the escape he was shot in the stomach, and his life is gradually going away, at that moment he feels a terrible weight as he lays on his back and a lump fills his throat, he cannot breathe well, he sees blurry and everything staggers … is it death that finally reached him? Lupio is a name given to the people who are dedicated to extracting ore clandestinely in the mines of Guanajuato.

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.
