Details

Tears take the form of poetry, flowing across the cheek and temple of an enigmatic face. Seen only partially, the person is nonetheless a riveting presence. "Your eye, green eyes, I lost myself in them... they were fury, fire, storm, passion and escape. So green, such rain..." muses artist Maria Deras. This thoughtful work forms part of her series Terraerótica (Erotic Earth).

Titled "Te confiero el poder de arrancar lágrimas de mis ojos" in Spanish, it is framed in pinewood.

Maria Deras

"[The Tarahumara] shared with me their cosmovision of life and inspired my first works. This experience shaped a large part of my personal philosophy for constructing my spirit, my mind, and my heart."

Dreams in the Desert, a poem by Maria Deras Nine months in the desert, The gestation of dawn, colors of the soul's... Dreams in the Desert, a poem by Maria Deras

Nine months in the desert,
The gestation of dawn, colors of the soul's mirror …
A dream of spring and hummingbirds of summer …
pregnancy of blind pupils … there is no victim
it is I, the others and the Light.

"I arrived in Mexico City on January 31, 1971. At five years of age we moved from the Pacific coast, from Tepic, Nayarit. At eight years old I won my first drawing contest, and since then I have discovered that painting could provide the answer to all my questions, both in terms of technique and artistic creativity.

"After graduating from preparatory school in Guadalajara, I packed my necessities in a backpack and took a bus to the Sierra Madre in the state of Chihuahua, where the Tarahumara people of the Raramuri ("runners of light foot") culture are established. They shared with me their cosmovision of life and inspired my first works. This experience shaped a large part of my personal philosophy for constructing my spirit, my mind, and my heart.

"In June of 1995 I traveled to the U.S. From New York, where I lived for a year and a half, I produced and exhibited my work in the City, Ohio State, Minnesota, and the city of Buffalo, New York. After this, I journeyed to the desert in New Mexico for one year, where I fine-tuned my painting with the selection of some writings from my travel journal.

"Later it occurred to me to take a trip for 90 days to Spain, Barcelona and Catalonia in general. That inspired an individual exhibition in Guadalajara in 1999. This journal of Barcelona was characterized by the recurrence of windows of the Mediterranean."

Maria Deras defines her work as a labor of "playful realism" and an "oneiric expressions of her experiences." To date she has held about a dozen individual exhibitions. Her works have been mentioned in numerous publications, both within Mexico and also in the United States, including the Encyclopedia of International Female Artists published by the Alliance of Female Artists in California.

FINDING YOUR SIZE

Take your measurements with the tape measure over your under garments. If your measurements fall between sizes you may prefer the next larger size. Inseam, skirt and dress lengths vary by style and will be listed in the item description. Our sweaters are knit in standard American sizes, however actual measurements vary by style.

BUST / CHEST

Measure around the fullest part of chest under the arms and over the shoulder blades keeping the tape measure level.

WAIST

Measure around the smallest part of the waist keeping the tape measure comfortably loose. Most garments use the low waist measurement noted below.

LOW WAIST

Measure around the body approximately 1.5" below the natural waist (above). This is the area where most pants and skirts actually fit.

HIPS

Standing with your heels together, measure around the fullest part of the body approx 7"-8" below the waist.

NECK

Measure around the base of the neck keeping the tape measure comfortably loose.

SLEEVE

Bend elbow slightly and starting at the center back of the neck, measure across the shoulder, to the elbow and down to the wrist.

INSEAM

Our standard inseam length for women is 32" and 34" for men; however inseam measurements will vary slightly by style.

 

Belts with buckles are measured in inches that correspond to a waist size however, most people do not wear belts on the waist, they wear them closer to the hips. A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.

For at tie belt (no buckle) measure the belt portion end to end and half of the tie portion. This again is the medium size of the belt.

For a soft fabric tie belt it can be called "1 size fits most" and the entire length of the belt should be measured and listed.
