Rak & Loa Mahi Mahi Leather Wall Sculpture – Mazatlan Figural Art

Signed leather wall sculpture by Rak and Loa, artists working from their gallery and studio in the historic Old City Center of Mazatlán, Mexico. This dimensional piece is part of their distinctive NIDART leather art tradition, where sculpted full-grain cowhide is molded into expressive, flowing forms. The composition features two serene faces emerging from dramatic folds of leather, creating a striking sense of movement and depth.

Rak and Loa’s work draws inspiration from the elements of nature—fire, water, earth, and wind. Their technique traces its roots to traditional Moroccan and Portuguese leather molding, adapted into contemporary sculptural wall art. This example incorporates mahi-mahi fish skin accents, a signature element the artists use alongside materials such as shark and red snapper to create unique textures.

A distinctive handcrafted artwork reflecting the coastal culture and artisan tradition of Mazatlán.

Condition:
Excellent condition overall. The leather remains structurally sound with natural tonal variation typical of molded cowhide. Minor surface marks consistent with handcrafted leather materials are visible but do not detract from presentation. Please review photos for details.
