In the Oaxacan region of carvers and painters, we find traditional artists working alongside experimentalists and innovators. The avenues of innovation and preservation give unique identity and insight to their individual styles.

What is practiced by some is often times not apparent in others. Some prefer simplistic beauty while others eye dazzling complexities. Some are uniform, symmetric, and utilize precise calculated brush strokes. Still others are preserving a timeless look that was taught to them generations before.
