Signed Miguel Pineda Modern Enamel Copper Art Plate Surreal Abstract Painting Nr

HERES A HIGHLY UNUSUAL SIGNED ORIGINAL VINTAGE ENAMEL-ON-COPPER FOOTED PLATE BY MEXICAN ARTIST MIGUEL PINEDA THAT DISPLAYS A BIZARRE SURREAL ABSTRACTION COMPRISED OF NUMEROUS SMALL SEA-LIKE CREATURES AND/OR MONSTERS! Measuring approximately six and three eighths inches (6 3/8) in diameter by three quarters of an inch (3/4) in height, the plate is signed on the underside bottom in post-firing gold over the enamel The Tudor House Miguel Pineda Made In Mexico along with several indistinct numbers. As you can see from the photographs above, the plates interior depicts an odd and rather bizarre abstract painting made up of numerous small creatures that appear to be floating and/or swirling around. Some of the little creatures look like deep-deep-deep-sea animals or fish, others look like snakes or eels, and one appears like a cartoon monster face with pointed ears and a big toothy grin!

The enamel colors include white, pink, purple, green, yellow, and greenish-black. The plates underside is counter enameled with white-speckled black enameling. Condition: Excellent and clean condition essentially flawless! 1940 is considered one of the prominent pioneers in the field of 20th-century modern Mexican enamel arts. After his training in enameling with Maggie Howe at the Los Castillo studio in Taxco, Mexico, from 1958 to 1960, Pineda immersed himself into the artform, mastering cloisonné, champleve, sgraffito, and painted enamels.

His designs include a wide variety of Pre-Columbian scenes and idols based on the Mayan and Aztec codices, modern abstract art, Byzantine, orthodox and catholic images and original designs that are influenced by the different themes. There is additional information available about Miguel Pineda through published literature and Internet websites.
