The Story Behind the Art:  

Having the opportunity to work with such a moldable product in all its forms as glass becomes a wonderful opportunity to create something completely original.   

It is so satisfying to work with a product that represents a millenary art, not only because of the marked significance that it has had over the years. Though it has been made in different countries of the world, it has become a Mexican handicraft. And Mexico, rich in culture and history, provides us as artists with enough means to obtain inspiration and show the world this art in its different styles.    

I have known glass for years. It took a lot of practice and mistakes to be able to handle it and improve every day. Glass is a material that, once you know it, is so friendly and easy to handle. I particularly like working with recycled glass fragments, melting them at a temperature of 1300 c and adding color with oxides.    

This process allows me to work on 80% of the design and elaboration. Although it is a challenge to give it a current style, it is pleasant to be part of the elaboration process.   

I like to focus on each moment find ways to solve the moments that are difficult, and in this way focus on building a happy future. The handmade touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size, and design. If buying two of the same item, slight differences should be expected.
