This unique hand-painted artwork titled “El Árbol de la Vida” (The Tree of Life) is a stunning piece of Mexican / Southwestern folk art signed by A. The composition features a symbolic Tree of Life filled with colorful figures of people, animals, and spirits – representing the harmony between earth, sky, and the underworld. Painted on genuine natural leather or suede, this piece showcases vibrant pigments in ochre, blue, green, and terracotta tones, creating an intricate and deeply spiritual image. The reverse side bears the inscription “El Árbol de la Vida”, while the backing board is titled “Village of Spirits” and signed by the artist.
