Mexican Miniatures

I will be out of town from October 22nd through October 30th and the gallery will be closed. Indigo Arts will be taking orders online as usual, and I will respond to email but not shipping before November 1st. Thank you for your patience.

The traditional but constantly evolving art of the Mexican minature. Small Nichos or dioramas and free-standing sculptures, many of the miniaturas depict calaveras or skeletons for the Dias de los Muertos (Days of the Dead) holidays, but they satirize many other aspects of modern Mexican life as well.
