Jose A. Lucero is known as "The Picasso Santero" for his distinctive style which
pushes the boundaries of Spanish Colonial art with a contemporary
interpretation of traditional images. In 2004, Jose was commissioned by the city
of Santa Fe to carve life-size bultos of the Seven Archangels into the trunks of
dead cottonwood trees along the banks of the Santa Fe river. Today his creation
stands as a Santa Fe landmark that delights locals and visitors alike. His
powerful angels serve as guardians for "the city different". In honor of this
accomplishment, July 29, 2005 was proclaimed "Jose A. Lucero Day" by Santa
Fe's Mayor Larry A. Delgado.
