This beautiful owl carving by Oaxaca artist Bertha Cruz is a feast for the eyes, combining bold geometry with delicate floral motifs. The owl's spread wings are canvases for her intricate designs, where roses bloom in radiant shades of pink and purple, framed by black-and-white patterns that create striking contrast.
Every surface of the piece is alive with detail: spirals, zigzags, checkered bands, and stylized feathers merge into a kaleidoscope of movement. The face, framed with golden and blue accents, is mesmerizing the wide eyes seem to watch intently, embodying the owl’s aura of wisdom.
