This is an extraordinary yarn painting that Justo Benitez did. Justo learned his trade from his father Jose Benitez Sanchez; the foremost master of the yarn painting and has a style that reflects her teachers classic style although he has his own distinct color combinations and super crisp definition. This piece reminds us of the old days when the yarn paintings were not as stylized and were more about the vision rather than the symbols.
