Pepa and Her Pup

Sleek and modern, two stylish dogs come to life in mandarin orange. Carlos Angrigiani depicts the mom dog and her pup in a tribute to motherhood. He begins with modeling clay and adds successive layers of wax to create a prototype with the desired textures to make a mold. The final sculptures come to life in resin and cement, protected with a coat of varnish. 'I like to think of creating these sculptures on a large scale as part of Mexico City's urban landscape,' the artist confides. 'They carry a message of family love.'
