Arte del Pueblo is proud to present the work of Guillermina Aguilar. Guillermina works in clay and has produced an important theme where she gives 'Homage to Frida '. In the case of 'My Nurse and I, 1937', Guillermina has represented a painting, which Frida believed to be one of her best:

"here she suckles in her dark Indian nurse’s arms. Because it was the adult Frida who had the memory, the baby has an adult head, and because she could not remember her nurse’s features, she covered her face with a pre-Columbian mask...

’My Nurse and I’ could be a double self-portrait: the nurse has loose, stringy black hair like Frida’s, and inscribed on her Teotihuacan mask are eyebrows that join...." (Hayden Herrera, Frida The Paintings).

Guillermina is among the most significant modern day folk artists giving 'Homage to Frida'. Guillermina Aguilar is a well documented Master of Mexican Popular Art. Guillermina is the eldest of the Aguilar sisters of Ocotlan, Oaxaca. Guillermina's sisters are Josefina, Concepcion and Irene Aguilar. From an early age, the famed Aguilar sisters learned to make clay figures from their mother. Their work today is world famous and highly sought after by Folk Art Collectors. Guillermina, Josefina and Irene and Concepcion have transformed traditional clay making into new and magical forms. Their clay figures are exhibited widely in galleries and museums both in Mexico and abroad.
