Josue Eleazar Castro: Award Winning Replica – Large Rowing Skeletons

A very big engineering feat to complete this piece. It takes several cycles for all the movements to repeat. This is a replica of an award winning piece that won 2nd place in a national Young Creators Competition in Mexico. Josue’s goal is to steal a smile each time you see one of his magical creations. Turn the knob and watch it come to life. A major new contribution to the world of Mexican toy makers. Not made for children, they will still bring out your inner child. Josue (pronounced hoe-sway), a 23 year old mechanical engineering student trained under well known Mexican paper mache artist and teacher Osvaldo Ruelas Ramirez.  The work appears simple, but there is a great deal of detail and creativity in making these mechanical creations come to life. He has been quickly grabbing up awards for his work – all made from recycled materials too. Includes certificate of authenticity.

Supporting emerging artists like Josue is the essence of why we do what we do at culturalart.org. Very proud to represent him as his first large U.S. buyer.
