Murales, sculptures and designs by Luis Espino

A work in process is an image of Christ arising from mountains.
This is Luis Espino working on a reproduction of a print. Luis is from Mexico City and came to the border this year. His painting details are really good. He can reproduce for you if you bring him the art you would like. These pictures are taken in the Liberty Plaza, which is across the street from the Red Snapper restaurant, a place where Luis has painted several murals. He has also painted murals in the Las Flores motel and created ceramic decorations around the swimming pool area.
Luis also does sculpture. This is a picture of him (a few years back) with a scale model of the Piramid de los Nichos which is found in El Tajin, Veracruz.
An Indian brave on horseback.
An Aztec warrior with a princess.
A picture of Frida Kahlo, the feminist artist of the 30's and 40's. Actually, she was not this good looking, but I've seen the original and that's what it looked like.

This is a part of a mural he painted at the Motel Las Flores. This mural is about 30 feet long and I couldn't fit
all of it on this screen!
A Mayan calendar on the wall at Las Flores motel. To the right you can seee the stairway that he created to represent the Mayan culture. This stairway leads up to a honeymoon suite!
Here we see Luis working on a color portrait of a customer's daughter. A fantastic likeness.
Another pot and a painting of an Indian warrior and a jaguar's head on rawhide.
Luis Espino, the son, works with mirrors and small ceramics to create small artistic pieces.
A Mayan calendar reproduction created by Luis.
A number of minatures that he keeps on display. Most appear to be about 9" x 6". These were done by his son, Luis Espino.
A fiber art image of a Mayan woman in a ceramic and mirror frame. This was done by Teresa Santana,who is shown at the right. She also comes from the state of Mexico.
These works are created using espinos or spines that are natural grasses. Hundreds (thousands?) of short spines of various colors are glue to a panel to create these marvelous images. This art form is called tapisado en popotillo. This style of art originated in the Orient and came to Mexico in the early 20th century.
This is a version of the so-called Aztec sun calendar created in the same medium. This piece is about 30" square.
