Putti /ˈput.ti/
One Putti, many Putti, no relation to that Valentine’s Day cherub. Embodiments of happiness, all Putti want to do is bring smiles. Inspired by the alebrijes of Mexico and folk art totems from various cultures said to bring fortune, Putti are meant to be placed in areas where you could use some good vibes. They exist purely to bring joy to others and believe you should too. Do like Putti do and gather in groups for the best results when it comes to life.
About
The heart of the matter
I’ve been painting these winged spirits since the mid-2000’s. I hope you love them as much as I do.
As somebody who was affected by the Cedar Fires in San Diego in 2003, I wanted to give back to the areas that have been severely affected by wildfires of late. I was studying graphic design and staying with my aunt that year when her home went up in flames along with most of my possessions. Although we all evacuated safely, as many who have been affected have discovered, it’s the recovery after the fires that hits the hardest.
That’s why at least 10% of net proceeds from each sale will be donated to continuing fire relief efforts on Maui as well as in Los Angeles via our partnerships with Hawai‘i Community Foundation – Maui Strong Fund and Habitat for Humanity, Greater Los Angeles.
