Isaias Alejandro Morales Delgado: El Señor del Otro Lado (The man from the other side)

We are fortunate to have several new pieces in stock and ready to ship from premier paper artist Izzy Morales. Decorative and wearable mask; inspired by the pre-hispanic God “Mictlantecutli”.  It symbolizes death as a joyful and majestic image; has elements of skulls, náhuatl’s heart, and the cempazuchitl flowers. The intention of this mask is to protect your home and is also used for rituals related to the dead.

Izzy Morales from Guanajuato is an amazing talent in the field of traditional paper alebrijes and he has developed a wild imaginative modern style all his own. He has been working with paper art since he was 6 years old. Now in his early thirties, he competes in national competitions with his award-winning work. These pieces are highly labor-intensive and he works exclusively on one of kind fine art wonders rather than taking a mass-produced commercial approach. It has paid off for him and he has developed into a well-respected artist nationally.
