About the Item

Whimsical Vintage Mexican Ceramic Sculpture of Parakeets Hatching from Egg, in the Style of Sergio Bustamante, Circa 1980s A large, fantastical ceramic sculpture depicting a group of vividly colored parakeets emerging from a cracked egg. This imaginative and surreal piece draws strong stylistic inspiration from the work of celebrated Mexican artist Sergio Bustamante, known for his whimsical and surreal interpretations of nature and mythology in ceramic, papier-mâché, bronze, and wood. Hand-sculpted and hand-painted in Mexico in the 1980s, the sculpture captures a moment of animated emergence, with lifelike parakeets rendered in rich, saturated hues and finely detailed textures. The surface features carefully painted cracks and openings that heighten the illusion of the birds hatching from within the egg. This clay-based ceramic piece is bursting with character and movement, making it a striking example of Mexican folk-inspired surrealism. Unsigned by the artist, yet clearly created by a skilled hand, this one-of-a-kind piece would make a bold addition to any collection of Mexican folk art, ceramic sculpture, or Bustamante-style works. Dimensions: Height: 10 in (25.4 cm) Diameter: 9 in (22.86 cm) Condition: Good vintage condition, with typical patina and surface wear consistent with age. No visible chips or repairs. A true conversation piece that captures the spirit of surrealist folk art.
