This is a ceramic angel made by Oaxacan artist, Angelica Vasquez Cruz. The angel wears a reddish colored dress with an intricate floral and leaf pattern. Angélica does not actually paint her work, but instead developed a process using “agobes,” her term for natural colored substances, such as stone or volcanic ash, which she uses to add different hues to her pieces.
