Lara
Marketing professional; Jewelry designer
I had the great fortune of being born into a family that lives in Asia, with Spanish and American roots; and so grew up surrounded by beautiful handicrafts, fine art and the treasures of many cultures. I started painting, making jewelry and other art projects just for fun when I was a child, and continue to enjoy these hobbies today. Many people have offered to buy my work, even if I just make them for my family and friends, and have not gone into any commercial venture. I appreciate the work and LOVE that go into each piece of handicraft, and make it a point to buy an original and indigenous piece from each country I travel to. I particularly love the art of Mexico and other pre-hispanic cultures.
What I like most about Novica:
I love browsing this website just to see what new items have arrived from the various regions. Fine craftsmanship and the art of distant lands have always fascinated me. I travel for business, but I have not had the opportunity to visit many of the countries hosted by Novica, so this site is my way of experiencing these rich cultures.

Testimonial for Luis Martinez Gallardo
I bought three of Sr Martinez's Christmas Tree centerpieces as a present for my mother. Little tea lights on the trees' arms add a festive touch to the holiday table and they are sure to be a hit with dinner party guests!
Testimonial for Georgina Cabrera
Me encanta tanto la mascara ceramica Vida y Muerte de Georgina Cabrera, con su atencion al detalle y calidad excepcional. Es una hermosa adicion a mi coleccion de mascaras prehispanicas. Espero la re-edicion de la mascara Tlaloc. Me gustaria ver otras de los personajes de los mitos aztecas. Muchas gracias.
Testimonial for Angel Ceron
Acabo de recibir dos mascaras ceramicas de Angel Ceron --- creo que eran Quetzalcoatl (Winged Serpent from Teotihuacan) y Tezcatlipoca (Maya Lord Jaguar). Son maravillosos en la pared con otras mascaras de mi coleccion! Me encanta la cultura prehispanica y espero nuevos productos del Sr Ceron. Muchas gracias.
Testimonial for Issaka Ibrahim
I have just received Issaka Ibrahim's calabash mask `Chieftain'. It was bigger and more finely detailed than I had expected. I particularly admire the brass inlay representing the headdress. I also have the calabash box `Dogon Gift'; it will make a very unique jewelry box. These are the first items I have seen carved from gourds, and I marvel at the artistry and care required to make them. I love that simple materials can be made into beautiful and useful items, and look forward to seeing more of Issaka Ibrahim's work.
