Woman with Iguana (Ed. 15/30)

Striking in both color and composition, Woman with Iguana by Mario Guzmán Olivares is a powerful tribute to matriarchal strength and cultural identity. Carved in linoleum and printed in a limited edition of 30, the work presents a dignified female profile crowned with a serene iguana — a symbol of wisdom, endurance, and earthbound spirit. The woman’s gaze is steady, surrounded by a lush bloom of stylized flowers that radiate across the black background in bright reds, whites, and greens. Guzmán’s use of color blocking and intricate linework evokes both Mexican folk art and contemporary printmaking traditions. The turquoise frame and coral mat surrounding the print further amplify its bold aesthetic, transforming the piece into a vibrant focal point that honors both the natural and human spirit.
