Papel Amate has strong links to Mexican history, being used for 1000s of years to record histories, calendars, regulations, etc. These were recorded in a style of painting that is similar to our contemporary Papel Amate paintings. They can be called naive, primitive, ethnic & other terms that indicate that the painters are not formally schooled in art: do not use perspective or shadowing; & use their own lives & surroundings as subject matter.Amate Paintings are a joy to own. They are vibrant with color and the scenes of daily and fiesta life that are still very common in rural Mexico. These are not fantasies or abstractions they depict the actual objects & scenes in these villages. Each time you look at one of the paintings you will probably notice different fascinating details and subleties. They provide unique decorating enhancements to your home, office, business.
