We are now offering FREE DHL or Fedex express shipping on this piece. Welcome to Peyote People. We are based in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico where we have run a Native Folk Art Gallery since 1997 that works directly with the artists and their families. Manuel de la Peña : My work talks about the relationships and transitions between contemporary art and popular art, in which the different interpretations of legends, characters, elements and symbolisms of Mexican culture stand out, the common means of expression in my work has a main material origin, it is the paper, from this different types of figures, characters and compositions expose a narrative story wrapped in color and meaning.

Another element in my work is the exploration of natural pigments to give color to the different artwork generated from this concept, for example one of my most recent research is based on the use of “grana cochinilla”, among others, this exploration tries to generate relations with elements of very old use with contemporary techniques of artistic management of papercutting art. In my art i want to make each piece generate an aesthetic reflection to the viewer which generates the question of how old is the modern and vice versa, my art tries to play with these transitions because it is not just resignify traditional elements, it is to generate new and different processes to enrich the aesthetic experience.
