Mario Munguia — Oso — ArtCentre of Plano

2025, Ceramic and Glaze, 17x15x14 in. The intersection of Latin American Folk Art and Fine Art is a prominent topic in my studio practice. Exposure to thematic exhibits and museums featuring Artesanías prompted me to question the links between craft, anthropology, and contemporary art. My focus has become creating my own personal mythology influenced by popular culture, mass media, and my own imagination through groupings of figures. I emphasize striking colors, visual patterns, and characters of all emotions to create this universe in the mediums of painting, drawing, and sculpture.
