Recommended by Paige (Collections Manager): "This piece is a perfect composition of circles, from the crouched woman to the swimming fish to the sun and moon. It shows the artist's mastery of texture and transparency, even through darkness. He was a key figure to the art community of Oaxaca and is one of my favorite Mexican artists. For me, his works are clearly influenced by Mexican folk culture, imagery, and textures but are also clearly his own."

For me, 'El Camino de la Vaca' (The Cow's Path/Trail) is a 'why not'? type of piece. It has a simple joy for joy's sake. Of course, there is intention and artistry, like the beautiful ink textures, patterns, and perspective. But at this moment I appreciate his choice to create an uncomplicated, sweet scene. The grass forms a sort of red carpet for the underappreciated cow. We can smile just because.
