Who am I?
I am a Guatemalan woman, a creative person, a defender and lover of our cultural patrimony. I am an archaeologist by vocation and a visual artist since birth. I am an insistent traveler.
My passion for color, for contrasts, for positive energy and for the power that is within objects made with love has driven me to work in different projects throughout my life and filled my path with research and encounters.
Why do I design handicrafts?
I love the idea of taking my art to different places besides the canvas or the walls and spaces of exhibition and transforming it into an object of every-day use.
The intimate relationship that can develop with a cushion, a purse or a pillow cover is an artistic expression in itself. And if on top of it all, this work of art is made by the hands of artisan women and contributes to improving their quality of life through their own work, we can say that the value of such a piece is multiplied.
The relationship that a human being has with an every-day object goes beyond simple necessity. To explore this world of possibilities while putting together the objects of Corazón de Volcán is a path I cannot resist.
