About
the Artisit
"I have been
dedicated to this art form since I was 17 years
old. I originally started learning through the influence of my
husband's family. In time we united our skills and labor. Little by
little, I learned to design and paint. I realized that the more I
practiced, the more this craft won me over, offering me tremendous
gratification. Now I consider it a way of life, dedicating myself
full-time.
"I create many kinds
of beautiful mirrors, coasters, boxes and
trays. My tools consist of simple brushes, hammers, nails and glue. For
the designs and illustrations, I use India ink to produce the finer
details and outlines. Finally for colors I use tempera paints and purpurina, or gilt.
"I follow a
meticulous process, carefully shaping the wood to give it a
pleasing form. Later, for my mirrors, I cut the glass and outline my
intended design on the surface with India ink. Next, I fill the outline
with beautiful Cajamarca patterns using paints and gilt. To finish, I
glue the glass to the wood and apply a rich golden paint to the borders
of the frame. This whole process demands incredible patience and
attention to detail.
"My designs are
inspired by nature, and by typical scenes from
my town and region. I feel very proud of the works that I create, and I
look forward to sharing them with more and more people around the
world."
