Background:
📍 Rooted in the traditions of Capula—a name synonymous with Catrina craftsmanship—this piece embodies the vibrancy and warmth of the region. Through the ingenious creations of Don Juan Torres, an internationally recognized artist, the Catrinas of Capula achieved prominence not just locally but globally. This rich tradition, spanning decades, resonates in every curve and hue of the piece.
The 1970s marked a pivotal period when Juan Torres, a Michoacán craftsman, breathed life into Posada’s vision in clay, a feat further immortalized by Diego Rivera. Today, Capula thrives with myriad family workshops, each artisan infusing their unique touch into their works, ensuring the legacy of Catrina lives on.
