'Pele And Kamapuaa ' a block print by Dietrich Varez

$20.00

From:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamapua%27a

"In Hawaiian mythology, Kamapuaʻa ("hog child")[1] is a hog-man fertility superhuman associated with Lono, the god of agriculture. The son of Hina and Kahikiula, the chief of Oahu, Kamapuaʻa was particularly connected with the island of Maui.[2]

A kupua (trickster), Kamapuaʻa is best known for his romantic pursuit of the fire goddess Pele, with whom he shared a turbulent relationship. Despite Pele's power, Kamapuaʻa's persistence allows him to turn her lava rock into fertile soil."

Dietrich Varez personally hand screens and signs each of his brown, monocolor block prints on 80 lb. acid-free bond paper. Paper size is 18" x 24" with image size smaller. Your print of 'Pele And Kamapua'a' comes gently rolled in a tube with Dietrich’s biography.
