Figure - Señuelos Patos (5) - Polychrome wood

They are figures that preserve that direct, honest charm of the old hunting decoys from the second half of the 20th century, when they were still carved from wood and hand-painted, with a level of detail that sought both functionality and beauty. Each duck shows a different personality: the curves of the back, the shape of the bill, the arrangement of the painted feathers with bold brushstrokes and bright colors — greens, ochres, blues, reddish tones — speaking to an artisanal craft that did not merely imitate nature, but interpreted it.

The wood, softened by use and time, adds a warmth that only pieces meant to endure outdoors, exposed to water, cold, and light, can convey. The polychromy, originally conceived to camouflage and attract, is today appreciated as an example of popular painting, with that balance between precision and freedom that characterizes good traditional decoys.

Together, they form almost a small flock frozen in time: each with its own posture, its gesture, its particular color. They are objects that have passed from tool to decorative piece, and that preserve on their surface the memory of an ancient practice and of a craft that combined observation, dexterity, and sensibility.
