Luis Pablo: Baby Hippo Woodcarving
This delightful woodcarving by master Oaxacan artist Luis Pablo captures the charm of a baby hippo most whimsically. With its round, chubby form and playful stance, the hippo radiates a sense of innocence and joy. Its soft pink body is decorated with sprinkles of black brushstrokes, almost like freckles, and lively red patterns accented with cheerful yellow circles. The bright blue head dotted with turquoise spots gives it a playful personality, while the wide, smiling snout makes it impossible not to grin back. The deep cobalt blue feet, each tipped with little white toes, add to its endearing look, grounding this sweet creature with a touch of boldness. Luis Pablo is known for his clean lines and inventive designs, and here he transforms the baby hippo into a colorful, contemporary character full of life and imagination. It feels like a friendly companion straight out of a dream, curious, gentle, and ready to brighten any space with its irresistible charm. Origin: Oaxaca Dimensions:
