Sculptor of religious themes, pastoral life displays work here

HARLINGEN — Enrique Cepeda carves rich detail into striking bronze sculptures depicting life in rural Mexico.

Cepeda, a sculptor from Saltillo, Mexico, is known for his work in the process of lost wax casting, a method by which duplicate metal sculptures are cast from their originals.

As part of a program with the Mexican Consulate in Brownsville, Cepeda’s work is on display through June 5 at the HarlingenArts & HeritageMuseum.

Since the exhibit opened May 12, visitors have commented on Cepeda’s detailed works depicting religious themes and pastoral life.
