Calaca - Monoprint by Mark Vallen

Calaca (Skull) - Monoprint 6" x 8" $50.00
Vallen created a suite of these multicolored monoprints for Day of the Dead in 2002. The artist hand-painted the image directly on a sheet of glass with oil paints. A piece of paper was then laid over the painting and gently burnished. Removing the paper revealed a perfect "mirror image" print. No two monoprints are alike in color scheme or detail. Each print is hand-signed and dated by the artist.
