Omar Hernández

Purple Corn Totem

$40.00

Paying tribute to one of Mexico’s most sacred crops, Purple Corn Totem by Omar Hernández transforms a humble maize cob into a sculptural homage. Hand-carved and painted in rich violet tones, the piece elevates a daily staple into a symbol of identity, resilience, and nourishment. Each kernel is carefully rendered with dimensional precision, creating a rhythmic surface that invites close inspection.
More than decorative, this object reflects the cultural and spiritual value of corn in Mesoamerican civilizations. Its scale and simplicity are intentional — grounding the piece in tradition while celebrating form and texture. It stands as both art and artifact, where beauty meets cultural reverence.
