About the Item
This striking black-and-white linocut by Bernardo Modesto presents a winged female figure seated within an oval frame, evoking both spiritual iconography and indigenous symbolism. The figure’s frontal pose, broad gestures, and deeply carved lines lend the image a sense of gravity and quiet authority, recalling ancient mythological or devotional imagery.
The surrounding oval border is filled with rhythmic patterning that echoes traditional Oaxacan design and embroidery, a recurring influence in Modesto’s work. The figure’s wings suggest protection, transformation, or ancestral presence, while the expressive carving emphasizes texture and contrast characteristic of the linocut process.
Printed in a limited edition of 40, this example is number 28, signed by the artist. Angelau exemplifies Modesto’s ability to merge cultural heritage with contemporary printmaking, resulting in an image that feels both timeless and deeply personal.
