Mexican Tile Mural - Virgen Guadalupe

Product Description

This Mexican tile mural with Virgen Guadalupe is a handcrafted devotional artwork composed of 70 ceramic tiles arranged in a 10×7 grid. Each tile measures 4x4 inches, making the total mural size 40 inches wide by 28 inches high. At the center of the composition stands Our Lady of Guadalupe, her hands clasped in prayer beneath a radiant mandorla of golden and red rays. She wears a flowing red-orange gown beneath a green robe adorned with delicate gold detailing.

The Virgin is depicted standing on a crescent moon supported by a winged cherub, surrounded by blooming red roses and leafy green foliage. The mural’s border showcases a repeated peacock-feather motif in cobalt blue, gold, and green—framing the sacred image with traditional Mexican Talavera symmetry. Every element is painted by hand using mineral-based glazes, blending the visual richness of colonial-era Catholic art with the folk vibrancy of Mexican ceramic craftsmanship.
