This expressive sculpture depicts a stylized female torso rendered with bold, simplified forms and a powerful sculptural presence. Cast in bronze and finished with a vibrant orange and black enamel surface, the piece combines modernist abstraction with the enduring tradition of Mexican figurative sculpture.

Tellosa’s work reflects the rich artistic heritage of Michoacán, Mexico, where he was born in Tacámbaro. The sculpture’s monumental form, despite its intimate scale, creates a strong visual impact, making it ideal as a statement decorative object for interior designers and collectors of Latin American modern art.

The expressive surface texture and saturated color palette enhance the sculptural modeling of the body, giving the work a dynamic presence from every angle. The elongated hair and simplified facial features lend the figure a timeless, almost totemic quality.

This piece was originally acquired from Bezan Galleries in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, a gallery known for promoting significant Mexican artists.

Signed and dated “T. 2002” on the base.

Works by Jesús Tellosa are increasingly appreciated by collectors of Mexican modern sculpture, Latin American art, and contemporary figurative works.
