Narciso Gonzalez: Mischievous Monkey with Banana Sculpture

 

Narciso Gonzalez is one of the top master wood carvers in Oaxaca. This mischievous monkey with his banana is a fine example of this artist's incredible talent. Even its treasured banana is beautifully carved! His lines flow and are pleasing to the eye. His wife Ruby paints all his carvings; as you can see, she is a superb artist. The combination of colors produces a sense of texture you can almost feel! Did you know monkeys in pre-Columbine cultures were considered protectors of the arts, especially of sculptors and writers?
