MEXICO CITY Map Art Print.

For your Map Wall, memento of your travels or loved ones, reminder of home, signal safe space. Great as a gift for friends moving, realtor gift, wedding gift.

My hand-drawn map reveals the complex and evolving urban plan that belies the dynamic city life in this metropolis. Did you know it's both the oldest capital city in the Americas and one of two founded by indigenous people in about 1325 and known as Tenochtitlan? Poet Octavio Paz called his vibrant hometown a "paradise of cages." Surrounded by natural beauty, the city grids first established by conquering Spaniards endure, but the modern city also reflects the spread of populations into marginal areas with DIY street planning.

This is a PRINT. My hand-drawn map lines are turned white over my "Urban Fabric” painting - a layering of many hand-painted and drawn marks in watercolor, handmade pigment and ink. The "Urban Fabrics" Print Collection features 100+ Cities in 6 Color ways, featuring my paintings:

COAL: Striking black and white brush marks and ink lines, with brown ochre pigment.

ROCK: Neutral tones of beige and grey with a touch of blush.

EARTH: Earthy pinks, gold, rich warm browns in brush strokes with graphite marks.

RIVER: Moody blue-greens with graphite and my handmade ochre pigment.

WAVES: Deep watery blues with wavy graphite lines.

GRASS: Wispy strokes evoke blades of grass, with pink and gold interwoven.

Prints available in multiple sizes as well as three paper options:

Matte Coated Archival - Easily fits into frame of same dimensions, no mat needed.

Textured Watercolor Paper, straight cut edge - Easily fits into frame of same dimensions, no mat needed.

8" x 10", 11" x 14" and 16" x 20" are the best print sizes to purchase if you'd like to find a frame "off the shelf" instead of custom framing. Print have a border so no mat is required - just pop it in the frame of the same size and hang!

If you'd prefer a square print, just purchase the size that matches the width you'd like, leave a note at checkout to make it square and I will make it square, no title. If my print widths available in menu do not match your preference, send me a note with an alternate size. I can print from 5" x 5" to 17" x 17" - Thanks!
