Fernando Giron Pantoja
It is incredible what talent and patience, in the hands of an artist, can produce. Fernando's carved and painted figure of St. Michael fighting the devil (on the right) is fantastic! Straining muscles, an intense facial expression, delicate fingers, gilded armor, colorful flowing drapery . . . all from a piece of wood, paint, and gold leaf. Amazing! |
