Unknown artist - Desconocido

Two unique paintings, created using a delicate collage technique with butterfly wings. Each work represents a parrot, whose wings have been cut out and assembled with great precision. One bears the signature of Jja Aluko and the other that of Joshua Balaka. Both are local authors unknown. The paintings come from Brazil, created in the 1930s, but the exact provenance of the artists has not been identified. They are auctioned together, offering a singular opportunity for collectors of vintage decorative art. The painting with Joshua Balaka's signature measures 33.5 cm high and 21.6 cm long, and the other painting with Jja Aluka's signature measures 33.7 cm high and 19.4 cm long.
