Fidel Figueroa's watercolor painting captures the essence of an early 20th century Mexican village street scene, showcasing the vibrant hues of daily life. The color palette is alive with yellows, greens, reds, purples, and magentas, creating a stunningly rich and vivid connection to the villagers' clothing as they walk up the path symbolizing the deep intimacy one has with a home.
The painting captures a charm that seems to have been forgotten in modern times, and the colors and composition work together to evoke a sense of nostalgia and longing for a simpler time. The use of watercolors is particularly effective in capturing the play of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and dimensionality in the scene.
Measuring 15 1/4" x 18 1/4" including the vintage frame, the visible part of the watercolor on paper is 9" x 11". The condition of the painting is stunning, with no noticeable wear or time fade. The frame, while showing normal wear for its age and use, adds to the overall charm and character of the piece. Overall, this watercolor painting by Fernando Figueroa is a captivating work of art that captures the beauty and richness of Mexican village life in the early 20th century.
Fidel Figueroa was a well known artist in Taxco, Mexico. His Casa Figueroa was open for tours and the second floor became his studio. He was Director of the Taxco School of the Arts; also teaching there. He was best known as an outstanding landscape artist.
