RARE Cesar Manrique Vintage Signed Framed Ceramic Wall Art Tile FLYING FISH Fauna Atlantica Lanzarote
In perfect condition. This was one of the first fish tiles to be produced in the Cesar Manrique fish series or Fauna Atlantica in the 1980’s in Lanzarote and is now no longer available, if indeed you can find one. It depicts The Flying Fish.
Stunning vintage, ceramic wall art tile, signed 'Manrique' as shown in the photos and framed in black wood. The tile is one complete tile, not in three parts as the other fish series tiles are (the sole fish, frog fish and shark fish, which I also have for sale in the shop at the moment in the ceramics section).
FREE WORLDWIDE tracked shipping.
I am happy to consider reasonable offers. Please see my other ceramic tiles I have in my collection at the moment.
I have only seen one other of these in perfect condition in the last ten years.
Ready to hang on the wall.
Measures 39 x 27cm including frame.
I lived in Lanzarote since 1985 and am happy to answer any questions you have or enquiries for other items I may have in my collection.
If you wish to purchase more than one item, I may consider reasonable offers.

Cesar Manrique transformed the island of Lanzarote, his birthplace, during his lifetime. Tragically killed in a fatal car accident in 1992, at just 72 years old, he was fundamentally an environmentalist, artist, sculptor and architect, deep thinker and lover and protector of his homeland. His work saved Lanzarote from becoming yet another spoiled Spanish tourist resort - destroyed by the need and greed to create an income from tourism at any cost. Manrique never forgot the history and heritage of his native island, built on volcanic lava and rock. He created a utopia of visitors' sites from the natural materials of the island - lava, rock, volcanic ash, whitewashed houses, cactus, palms and sand and sea and a vision of the volcanic island life that we hope will never be lost. Long may his legacy live on, as we take in the breathtaking beauty of his creations.
I myself was lucky to have been influenced by the island and the man himself, and of course the beautiful people of Lanzarote. My daughter is a Conejera (a female born in Lanzarote). This is my collection of work from both Cesar and the island of Lanzarote itself. Please do let me know know if there is anything you are looking for as I may be able to find it for you. I now live in Almeria in South Eastern Spain, a desert area that is also inspirational and recalls aspects of the island of Lanzarote. I am a total Hispanophile and Manriquephile, who will never forget Cesar Manrique's incredible artistry and influence on creating a world of art combined with nature.
