About the Item

This expressive vintage bronze sculpture was created by Mexican artist Jesús Tellosa and is signed and dated 1999. The work depicts a stylized winged figure rendered in Tellosa’s distinctive figurative language—abstracted yet deeply emotive, with softened anatomical features, closed eyes, and compact proportions that evoke introspection, spirituality, and quiet strength. Cast in solid bronze, the sculpture displays a richly developed surface with natural patina, visible tool marks, and subtle tonal variations that emphasize the artist’s hand and process. The wings, integrated seamlessly into the figure’s form, suggest themes of transcendence, protection, and inner transformation—recurring motifs within contemporary Mexican sculpture of the late 20th century. Jesús Tellosa is recognized for his contribution to modern Mexican figurative art, working primarily in bronze and other traditional materials while embracing simplified forms and symbolic narratives. His work reflects the broader Mexican artistic movement that sought to bridge pre-Hispanic symbolism, spiritual introspection, and modernist abstraction, positioning the human figure as a vessel for cultural memory and emotional resonance. A compelling and collectible example of late-20th-century Mexican bronze sculpture, ideal for collectors of Latin American art, figurative works, or sculptural objects with spiritual and symbolic depth.

Jesús Tellosa Mexican Bronze Nude Sculpture, Signed 2002

Jesús Tellosa Mexican Bronze Nude Sculpture, Signed 2002

By Jesus Tellosa

Located in Los Angeles, CA

Striking figurative bronze nude sculpture by Mexican artist Jesús Tellosa (1936–2012), signed and dated 2002. This expressive sculpture depicts a stylized female torso rendered with bold, simplified forms and a powerful sculptural presence. Cast in bronze and finished with a vibrant orange and black enamel surface, the piece combines modernist abstraction with the enduring tradition of Mexican figurative sculpture. Tellosa’s work reflects the rich artistic heritage of Michoacán, Mexico, where he was born in Tacámbaro. The sculpture’s monumental form, despite its intimate scale, creates a strong visual impact, making it ideal as a statement decorative object for interior designers and collectors of Latin American modern art. The expressive surface texture and saturated color palette enhance the sculptural modeling of the body, giving the work a dynamic presence from every angle. The elongated hair and simplified facial features lend the figure a timeless, almost totemic quality. This piece was originally acquired from Bezan Galleries in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, a gallery known for promoting significant Mexican artists. Signed and dated “T. 2002” on the base. Works by Jesús Tellosa are increasingly appreciated by collectors of Mexican modern sculpture...

Whimsical Bronze Sculpture by Francisco del Toro, Mexico, 1992

Whimsical Bronze Sculpture by Francisco del Toro, Mexico, 1992

Located in Los Angeles, CA

Expressive and evocative bronze sculpture by Francisco del Toro (Mexican, Guerrero, 20th century), signed Del Toro ’92. This one-of-a-kind piece showcases del Toro’s mastery in merging organic abstraction with emotional figuration, embodying both movement and introspection through its fluid, surreal form. The elongated figure, perched on a solid stone base, reveals a captivating dialogue between smooth, polished surfaces and rugged, textured elements — a hallmark of del Toro’s sculptural language. The patinated bronze transitions in tone from deep forest green to earthy bronze, emphasizing the interplay between form, texture, and light. Del Toro’s work often explores the human spirit’s resilience and transformation, with this particular sculpture exuding both strength and vulnerability. The head, seemingly emerging from raw material, evokes a timeless and almost mythological presence, while the sensuous curvature of the body connects to themes of fertility and creation found in Mexican modernist sculpture. An exceptional example of Mexican contemporary bronze art, ideal for collectors of Latin American sculpture...
