Vintage Mexican Folk Art Amate Bark Painting – "Birds of Paradise"
Bring the vibrant energy of Mexico into your home with this authentic, hand-painted Amate bark masterpiece. This piece features a traditional "Birds of Paradise" motif, where two majestic birds are surrounded by a lush explosion of stylized flowers and foliage in high-contrast neon hues.
Key Features:
Medium: Hand-painted on authentic Amate paper, a pre-Hispanic bark paper handmade from fig or mulberry trees.
Subject: Classic Nahua folk art featuring a pair of birds in a dense, botanical landscape.
Artistry: Bold, expressive brushwork with brilliant, high-saturation pigments that create a luminous effect.
Framing: Professionally matted in a striking moss-green fabric mat that perfectly complements the artwork's natural tones.
Dimensions: Art measures 14" x 10.5"; wood frame measures 21.5" x 17.5".
Condition:
The artwork itself is in excellent vintage condition with crisp colors and no visible fading. The wood frame shows some character-adding wear, including minor splitting at the left corners (as shown in photos). The piece remains sturdy and ready to hang as-is, or it can be easily reframed to suit your decor.
Amate paintings are more than just decor—they are a storied tradition dating back over a thousand years. This large, framed example is perfect for a gallery wall, a sunroom, or as a bold focal point in a Boho or Eclectic interior.
