About this work

This looks like a piece of paper with brownish-red writing and marks. The words "Manuel Quintin Lame" are scrawled in uneven, looping letters. Below them, three star-like shapes line up with dots in the middle. On the right side, there’s a tangled, almost scribbled design that looks like a knot or a plant. The artist used a red-brown dye called achiote, which stains the paper unevenly. It’s not a painting—just marks and words on paper, like a quick sketch or a note. If you like this style, check out Antonio Caro.
