    The encounter of two cultures merge in with these pieces that combine the creativity from the hands of artists that come from different states of Mexico: Oaxaca and Jalisco.

    Marakame innovates and integrates the skills of Zapotec artists, fusing the pieces achieved by them with the visual and manual dexterity of the Wixárika by gluing tiny sized beads one by one, from 20 thousand to more than 500 thousand (22 thousand in this piece ), for periods ranging between 15 and 300 days.

    The figure is represented in a calm position, with a serene and peaceful air that invites contemplation. The sculpture is carved with great precision and detail, allowing one to appreciate the unique features of the camel, such as its long tail and sturdy legs. The colours used are blue, white and black, which combine perfectly to create a stunning visual effect.

    The figure is adorned with many Zapotec symbols and figures, reflecting the cultural and artistic richness of this indigenous Mexican people. The Zapotecs are known for their skill in carving and painting, and this sculpture is a perfect example of their art. The technique used to create this sculpture is traditionally indigenous, using natural materials such as copal and wood. The figure is carved with great care and dedication, making it appear alive and dynamic.
