This is an extraordinary yarn painting that measures 8" x 8".
Luis Castro is the son of Eliseo Castro, one of the pioneers of huichol yarn paintings. His family comes from the ranch of Los Guayabos, near the town of San Andres Cohamiata. Luis’ designs are much more complex than his father’s. His sense of realism and perspective are taking Wixarika (Huichol) Art in new directions.
Yarn paintings are one of the most recognizable artistic traditions of the Wixárika (Huichol) people of western Mexico. Created by pressing brightly colored yarn into beeswax-covered wooden boards, these intricate works depict sacred symbols, animals, deities, and visions inspired by spirituality and ceremonies. Each piece tells a story connected to nature, ancestral knowledge, and the Wixárika worldview, preserving cultural traditions that have been passed down through generations.
