Oaxacan Wood Carving Eleazar Morales Bat Oaxaca Mexican Folk Art Alebrije

  

COOL STANDING VAMPIRE BAT OAXACA WOOD CARVING BY THE AMAZING ARTIST ELEAZAR MORALES. COOL AND FULL OF AMAZING DETAIL IN THE MUSEUM QUALITY CARVING! Only in his late 30's, Eleazar Morales has already achieved the status of a master in wood carving... His true genius of talent is just awe inspiring. Eleazar Morales is the brother of Susano Morales and Damian Morales, yet his work is quite distinctive.

He began carving at the young age of 14, and furthered his artistic development by studying the work of his world famous neighbor Manuel Jimenez. When Manuel Jimenez would discard a woodcarving that did not suite him, Eleazar would study the scraps left behind to further his knowledge of the art of wood carving. Eleazar has certainly come a long way from such a humble beginning, and now his work is shown in galleries around the world. His work is very fine in both the carving detail and the incredible realistic painting done with a very steady and precise hand. We just love the sense of movement in much of his work, and how the painting and carving really reflects the nature of the animal.

Eleazar Morales is one of our personal favorites, and we are so excited to be able to share his work with you! This bat is just striking, with a very rich and eye catching paint design. The piece was signed by the artist, and there are no removable parts.
