Julia Fuentes: Stunning Pheasant Woodcarving

This exquisite woodcarving by Julia Fuentes captures the elegant poise of a pheasant in stunning relief. Carved from a single block of copal, the bird’s elongated neck and stately crest rise gracefully, lending it an almost regal bearing. Fuentes’s masterful brushwork transforms each feather into a tapestry of patterns, from delicate scallops and spirals on the breast to interlocking geometric motifs along the wings and tail. Subtle gradations of warm earth tones and verdant greens meld seamlessly, highlighting the sculpture’s fluid form and the artist’s extraordinary attention to detail. The result is a luminous celebration of nature’s beauty and the artisanal spirit of Oaxacan alebrijes. Origin: Oaxaca Dimensions: 11.5''Tall 5''Long 3.5''Wide
