The El Nopal #39 "Heart of the Desert" is a special edition La Loteria sculpture from our Devotion Collection. This Zenwaro signature Loteria is a celebration of historic Mexican folklore, the natural beauty found in the desert landscape, and a bit of new-age artisan culture. We worked with the artist Rafael to adapt the traditional El Nopal Loteria card #39 infusing natures inspirational elements of the high desert terrain.
This Loteria sculpture includes an anatomical heart sculpture cleverly crafted to have stinkingly similar features found on a prickly pear. A tasty fruit which sprout form paddles of Cacti or Nopales (Nopalea coccinellifera). The Prickly Heart is sculpted with twisted metal thorns protruding from all sides. The El Nopal #39 "Heart of the Desert" carries several design and artistic nuances "there is both beauty and harshness found in the desert ecology" also "that love can be both wonderful and painful at the same-time". Mostly this wonderful piece of wall is a thought provoking and eye catching work of art and will make a statement in your decor.
