Brachiosaurus dinosaur sculpture by the very talented married artists Neri and Soledad Cruz.
Neri and Soledad create some of the most beautifully painted woodcarvings in Oaxaca, and this piece is no exception. The majestic Jurassic creature is expertly carved, accurately depicting the Brachiosaurus that once roamed North America. Take a look at the close-up picture of Soledad's painted design!
Every section of the dinosaur tells a visual story — from the precise, almost textile-like patterns on the limbs to the expressive eyes and curved mouth that give it a gentle, almost sentient presence. The back legs and haunches are painted with tight, symmetrical motifs resembling ancestral labyrinths, while the torso features radiating designs reminiscent of feathers, flames, and ceremonial garb.
