He began learning to make masks from his grandfather at the age of 8 and after 20 years Jorge has perfected his art. His one of a kind masks are based on traditional masks and are made of the Copal tree. His masks vary from the devils, demons, animals and Satan himself. These vary from near normal human faces to those with wild and/or grotesque features, with human features, animal features or both. Depictions of old pre Hispanic gods remain in masks. Tlaloc was commonly depicted as having serpents around his eyes and with the fangs of a viper. These elements can be found in devil masks today. Tezcatlipoca was a night god, whose colors were black and red. These are also applied to devil masks. Please check all photos due to horns having paint chips. This mask will be extremely well
