Tico Mascareñas Oil Painting — Taos Pueblo, Signed, Framed, with Documentation
Original oil painting by Tico Mascareñas, a contemporary Taos, New Mexico artist known for his distinctive depictions of regional architecture and landscape. This work shows the historic Taos Pueblo — one of the oldest continuously inhabited communities in North America and a UNESCO World Heritage Site — with warm adobe structures, traditional bread ovens, and distant mountains rendered in Mascareñas’ recognizable earthy palette and bold brushwork.
Signed lower right, this piece retains its original rustic wooden frame with a linen liner, complementing the Southwestern subject matter. It was purchased directly from Tico’s Studio Gallery in Taos in 2000 for $2,500; the original sales receipt and gallery paperwork are included, providing clear provenance and context for its market value.
This painting represents a fine example of regional New Mexican art and connects directly to the long tradition of Taos artists who have depicted this iconic pueblo for over a century. It would make a meaningful addition to any collection focused on Southwest, Pueblo Revival, or Northern New Mexico art.
