A fine vintage bulto sculpture in cedar wood by famed Santera Leonardo Gregorio Salazar who has been carving for 44 years. “My father, Leo G. Salazar, whose work is in the Smithsonian Museum, taught me and my brothers how to carve early in our lives, ” he said. Leonardo was taught in the 1970s to c...arve Santos along with his brothers Michael and Ernesto, though Michael no longer lives. The present sculpture is carve signed on the bottom 'LEONARDO SALAZAR "89" and measures 15.5 in. tall (40 cm) and is in near fine condition and depicts the ever popular San Isidro Labrado, the patron saint of farmers.When he is going to carve a particular image, Salazar allows el pedazo de madera, the piece of wood, to decide what it will be. “I look at the wood and it speaks to me, ” he said. “Then the piece unfolds itself in front of my eyes.”Galleries in Santa Fe and Taos New Mexico sell the work of this master Santera for $1300 and up. We are offering this fine Santero by Leonardo Salazar at an opening bid with no reserve that is a fraction of the sculptor's gallery prices. We have been told that the present work was purchased by the estate in 1989/90 at the famed SPANISH MARKET in Santa Fe New Mexico. Thanks for looking.
