About the Item
This striking sculpture, titled “Virgen de Talpa”, was created in 2004 by Mexican artist Danilo Lópes. Crafted from papier-mâché, the piece demonstrates remarkable skill in modeling and surface treatment, capturing both the delicate features and serene expression of the Virgin. The sculpture is signed and dated by the artist, confirming its authenticity and contemporary origin. Measuring 78 cm (31 inches) in height and 71 cm in width, it reflects Lópes’ ability to balance scale, form, and intricate detail in a medium often associated with lightweight and flexible artistry. Originating from Guadalajara, Mexico, this work draws upon regional religious traditions and iconography, celebrating cultural heritage while showcasing modern craftsmanship. Its combination of traditional subject matter with contemporary execution makes it a compelling piece for collectors of Mexican folk art, religious sculpture, and contemporary papier-mâché works. The sculpture’s careful detailing and expressive presence highlight the artist’s distinctive approach to form and devotion.
