Artist: Karla Rosales
Title: calavera inspirada del estilo cap
Description: My calavera this year was inspired by the Mexican art technique called "capulineado" or stippling. This art technique developed as a local productive activity until the arrival of Bishop Vasco de Quiroga in the 15th century in Capula, Michoacán. I am really proud of this calavera I feel it captures the essence of traditional mexican designs. I wanted to use contrasting colors on each new pattern and the white stippling technique gives it more depth.
