Jose Luis Castro: Premier Tree of Life Huichol Yarn Painting Direct from Mexico

This is one of the most stunning yarn painting pieces we have ever featured. It has super fine silk threads and is the first one of this size that he’s done because of the time and work involved. Zoom in on the pictures to see the superfine work. Jose Luis Castro is a fifth-generation Wixarika (Huichol) artist. He comes from the ceremonial center of San Andres Cohamiata, deep within the Sierra Madre Occidental. His style of magical realism makes his artwork the bridge between the old and the new traditions. Thus he has become a very popular artist. Jose Luis’ artwork contains lots of symbolism from the Wixarika (Huichol) culture. Symbols such as the peyote, offerings like prayer arrows, or special animals like the eagle. The way in which José Luis blends colors make his work aesthetically pretty and it gives it a contemporary feel to an otherwise ancient art.  You see something new in this every time you look at it.
