OAXACAN ARTISTRY
Though the Oaxaca Region of Mexico is impoverished to the point of being one of the poorest areas in that country, they are rich in artistic talent. In fact, when it comes to Oaxacan Artistry there are a number of areas where they truly shine. When you think of Oaxacan Artistry there are a multitude of mediums that you can be considering, including but not limited to:
Oaxacan Artistry, of course, would be nowhere without Oaxacan Artists. Perhaps one of the most famous of these is Enrique Flores, one of the more prolific artists of his generation.Born in 1963 he began his formal training by 1980 and now “reigns supreme” in his field. Flores has not, however, allowed his success to shroud the memory of his humble beginnings. Rather, he is planning to build an apartment complex dedicated to housing struggling art students, and an art gallery that will display not only his work but the work of these artists as well.
Others who, like Flores, want to assist those who struggle in helping to promote Oaxacan Artistry, can become members of FOFA - - Friends of Oaxacan Folk Art.Dedicated to encouraging young Mexican folk artists to pursue their crafts, they strive to ensure that these arts are not lost to economic and cultural changes.
