Original Signed Watercolor of Mariachis by Jaime Oates (1912 - 2005)

Immerse yourself in the vibrant rhythms of Mexican culture with this original signed watercolor by celebrated artist Jaime Oates. Born in Tossa de Mar, Spain, Oates studied at esteemed institutions in Barcelona and London before fleeing Franco’s regime in 1948. He eventually settled in Taxco, Mexico—a town renowned for its silver artistry—where he found endless inspiration in its landscapes and lively traditions.

Mariachi bands, a favorite subject of Oates, come alive in this dynamic watercolor. The painting bursts with movement and color, capturing the essence of their spirited performances. Oates, who became the headmaster and later director of the School of Fine Arts of Taxco, transformed a colonial house into his artistic sanctuary, making Taxco his permanent home and the heart of his creative endeavors.
