Jose Cruz Sanchez

Aquatic Harmony Sphere

$1,000.00

Floating in vivid motion, Aquatic Harmony Sphere by Jose Cruz Sanchez captures a school of fish dancing through deep waters, meticulously carved into a jicara (gourd) and set atop a refined black pedestal. With flowing forms and delicately etched textures, each fish is rendered in golden tones against a striking blue backdrop — a palette that recalls both natural elegance and symbolic serenity.
This piece stands out not just for its artistic precision, but for the medium itself. The spherical form, carved from dried gourd, showcases a technique deeply rooted in Oaxacan tradition — one that Cruz Sanchez has elevated into the realm of fine art. Every detail, from the expressive fins to the subtle background waves, speaks to the artist’s mastery of balance, storytelling, and visual rhythm.
