Details
Once the leaves are cut off, the core of the agave plant is baked in a brick oven prior to distillation. This part of the process is featured in card number 19 of Marina Pallares’ exclusive interpretation of Mexico’s lotera. It is a unique version of the classic bingo game featuring traditional images. The loteria made its appearance in the second half of the 18th century, and it is still a favorite at schools, fairs, carnivals and festivals. “I grew up in Jalisco, known for the production of tequila from agave plants, and as a child I used to play lotera all the time. These two facts inspired me to create the ‘Tequila Lotto’ series,” confides Pallares, who credits the influence of Leopoldo Mndez and Jos Guadalupe Posada in her work. She masters aquafortis and aquatint etching techniques to create this eloquent composition.
