About the Item

Expressive and poetic cast bronze sculpture by celebrated Mexican artist Héctor Nájera (b. 1931, Monterrey, Mexico), signed and dated “Nájera / 1995” and numbered 10/55 from a limited edition. This richly symbolic figural work portrays a serene, stylized figure cradling a reclining body—an intimate and spiritual moment rendered in Nájera’s signature surrealist-modernist language. Resting atop the figure’s head is a charming, abstract snail, adding a playful and dreamlike dimension that invites contemplation. The sculpture’s surfaces are rhythmically detailed, with a flowing cascade of textured hair on the reverse and abstract facial features that evoke ancient Mexican iconography. The piece is cast in bronze and finished with a striking verdigris patina, emphasizing its sculptural depth and organic energy. Nájera studied under Antonio Decanini and Adolfo Labner and is celebrated for his multidisciplinary approach, combining poetry, visual art, and mythic narrative into timeless, emotionally resonant forms. Dimensions: 10.25 inches high x 8 inches wide x 4 inches deep. A poignant and poetic work by a noted Mexican-American sculptor, whose pieces often explore themes of identity, motherhood, and spirit through modernist forms.

Whimsical Bronze Sculpture by Francisco del Toro, Mexico, 1992
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Expressive and evocative bronze sculpture by Francisco del Toro (Mexican, Guerrero, 20th century), signed Del Toro ’92. This one-of-a-kind piece showcases del Toro’s mastery in merging organic abstraction with emotional figuration, embodying both movement and introspection through its fluid, surreal form. The elongated figure, perched on a solid stone base, reveals a captivating dialogue between smooth, polished surfaces and rugged, textured elements — a hallmark of del Toro’s sculptural language. The patinated bronze transitions in tone from deep forest green to earthy bronze, emphasizing the interplay between form, texture, and light. Del Toro’s work often explores the human spirit’s resilience and transformation, with this particular sculpture exuding both strength and vulnerability. The head, seemingly emerging from raw material, evokes a timeless and almost mythological presence, while the sensuous curvature of the body connects to themes of fertility and creation found in Mexican modernist sculpture. An exceptional example of Mexican contemporary bronze art, ideal for collectors of Latin American sculpture...
