Description

Cindy Duff  “Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe” Mosaic Retablo – Folk Art Wall Piece

This vibrant 2015 mixed-media retablo by New Mexico folk-art painter Cindy Duff beautifully showcases Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, surrounded by a richly textured mosaic of tile, applied glass cabochons, and raised star elements. Each component is thoughtfully placed, creating a lively interplay of color, pattern, and folk-devotional symbolism. Signed verso by the artist, the piece reflects Duff’s distinctive Southwestern style—rooted in regional traditions yet unmistakably contemporary in its playful use of materials and bold palette.

Duff is known for her decorative art spanning back to the 1980s, including hand-painted furniture, murals, and mixed-media works that emphasize color, texture, and spiritual or cultural motifs. Her creations are prized in New Mexico and Colorado for their warmth and craftsmanship, making this wall-mountable retablo an inviting addition to any collection of folk, devotional, or Southwestern art.

Condition
Good condition with no damage noted. Crazing is present by design and typical of hand-crafted mosaic surfaces. Colors remain strong, and all applied glass and metal elements are securely set. Please review photos for full details.
