Description

R. Pindter Taller “Abrazo de Amor del Universo” Mexican Folk Art Nicho

An exquisite hand-crafted Mexican folk art nicho by R. Pindter Taller, titled “Abrazo de Amor del Universo” (“Embrace of Love of the Universe”). Created in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, this luminous devotional artwork unites glass, mirror, steel, fabric, and golden tassels in a heartfelt homage to love and faith.

Within the mirrored frame, two radiant Sacred Hearts—one crowned with thorns, the other adorned with blossoms—are embraced by golden embroidery and joined hands, symbolizing spiritual and universal love. A hinged glass door opens to reveal the interior scene, while the mirrored panels amplify the light, giving the composition a celestial glow. Rooted in Mexico’s retablo tradition, this piece beautifully balances folk devotion with contemporary artistry. Labeled verso: “R. Pindter Taller – Hecho a mano, San Miguel de Allende, Gto., Hecho en México.”
