Catrina is an integral part of Mexican culture and one of the most recognized figures spotted during Día de Muertos festivities. This particular Catrina figurine takes inspiration from La Adelita, the legendary heroine of the Mexican Revolution. Adelita represents strength, courage, and the vital role of women in shaping history, making this piece not only a stunning work of art but also a powerful symbol of resilience and empowerment.
This Catrina figurine has been beautifully hand-painted and crafted out of papier-mâché, the popular crafting technique that uses paper and paste. The process involves layering moistened paper and other materials onto a blank surface like a balloon. The adhesive used to wet the paper acts as a binding agent, and as the paper dries, the outer shell hardens, ready to be painted and decorated.
The incredible attention to detail, combined with the historic significance of La Adelita, instantly makes this Catrina creation a must-have for any Mexican folk art collection.
