Unique Art Collections

November 16, 2017

Unique Art Collections are instant conversation starters when loved ones visit your home. Whether you choose to collection one specific type of art, or just anything that catches your eye and touches your heart...beautiful is in the eye of the beholder. There is no right or wrong as far as your personal collection goes and often the most eclectic is the most interesting.

La Fuente Imports offers hand created art directly from Mexico. Many are made in small villages or by families which have been doing so for generations as the art construction has been handed down by their ancestors. Handmade means each piece purchased truly is one of a kind, as slight variations can and often occur since they are not machine processed like a majority of art available to buy.

The craftsmanship by the Huichol Indians of Mexico is unlike no other and a perfect example of unique art! The Huichols express these feelings through their art, which is made not from the standpoint of decoration, but to give profound expression to deep spiritual beliefs. This makes traditional Huichol art, whether it be beadwork, yarn paintings, wooden masks, or striking embroidered and woven personal adornments, beautiful not only from its aesthetic standpoint but from the psychological as well.

Each piece of their meticulous Huichol Bead Art is made first by spreading a thin layer of beeswax over a wooden form or hollowed gourd, and then meticulously pushing small glass beads into the wax to create complex patterns and symbols. Every item has been selected by hand to ensure the highest possible quality.

La Fuente Imports is proud to offer one of the most artistic collections of Huichol Indian Art available anywhere on the web.
