This striking, fiery red devil by Adrián Xuana, captures the playful and theatrical side of Mexican tradition. The figure’s bold red body, exaggerated stance, and removable black mask with vibrant green eyes and goat-like horns give it a captivating presence.
The piece draws inspiration from the Diablo characters of Oaxacan dances and festivals, where devils symbolize mischief, temptation, and the balance between good and evil—always with a touch of humor. Xuana’s minimalist carving style and expressive details bring out both the piece's folkloric and artistic essence.
A wonderful example of how Oaxacan artisans transform myth and festivity into vivid, timeless art.
