Update (July, 2019)

“I have been working with NOVICA for more than ten years, starting in 2008. This has greatly helped the sale of my pieces. It has an enormous potential.

“I have always been very strict regarding the quality of my work; for me, it is a discipline. NOVICA has been my right hand in keeping my pieces on the market. It represents one of my greatest sources of income, allowing my pieces to be known in many latitudes.

“Dealing with autism has not stopped me from creating more pieces of quality and perfection. My greatest competition is my own self. I like creating colorful pieces that reflect a latent emotion with a pleasing texture. I enjoy seeing my clients feel happy and satisfied that they are receiving a pretty, quality Mexican piece.

“Today, various people work with me and support me in increasing production. This inspires me and gives me an enormous satisfaction.”

Original Artisan Story

"I was born in Agua Prieta, Sonora near the border of Arizona with its colorful flowers. I feel influenced by both cultures but, above all, I identify with Mexico.

"From the time I was a boy, I was attracted to art. My mother painted and I admired her creative ability. I began to draw cartoon characters at first. Later, as I became better at it, I drew animals and plants. I then learned watercolor, which is something I still enjoy.

"When I was 11, I began collecting butterflies. I'd catch them and keep them in a wooden box to exhibit them. When I was 20, I became an ecologist and defender of nature, and this is when I began to create animals in clay and resin.

"In 1908, my grandmother crafted a tray with a metal butterfly. My technique is similar to cutout metal, but more rudimentary. From this, I became inspired and started working in metal for its versatility.

"In 2004, I set up my workshop. I create each piece with my passion for drawing, and seeing the finished work fills me with satisfaction. I am very strict with quality because I'm very demanding in my work. I'm a perfectionist, and demand a great deal of myself because I love to watch people's faces, see their smiles when they see my work.

"A desire to get ahead motivates me. Today I have a workshop, a cockatoo named Coco and a cactus collection. Those are all the tools I need to continue working."
