Collection: Prythero, Tim

Tim Prythero is world-renowned for his hyper-realistic sculptures that capture the soul of New Mexico architecture, from weathered screen doors to the subtle placement of a santo in a window. His work is held in prestigious collections globally, including the Albuquerque International Sunport, and is considered a staple for serious collectors of Southwestern art. Each piece is hand-finished and cast in hydrostone from original sculptures, with individual care given to details like handmade ristras and meticulously crafted doors.

These miniature works celebrate the region's unique history, reflecting the traditional use of adobe bricks and the cultural significance of turquoise-painted trim used to ward off evil spirits. By recreating authentic elements like sun-dried chili ristras and "horno" bread ovens, Prythero’s work preserves the functional beauty of high-desert living. The result is a unique brand of realism that captures the textures and traditions of New Mexico in three-dimensional form.
