When the miracle in Bethlehem blessed the world with God's son, an archangel guided and protected the holy family with his tender wings. Motivated by this story of sacrifice and unconditional love, Guatemalan artisan Liz Oliva uses her expertise in pottery arts to create this ceramic semi-abstract sculpture whose pieces represent God's will protecting Joseph in his role as a family head, Mary in her role as a sweet nurturer and baby Jesus in all his innocence.

Artist Magda Cordoba pays homage to her native Costa Rica both in form and substance with this splendid abstract painting. Her "Lands of My Land" series honors her country's history and traditions as a concept but also regarding materials because she crafts the painting by applying on paper watercolor and the natural mineral pigments typically used in the pottery made in the district of Guaitil.

The district of Guaitil in Costa Rica is renowned for its pottery made from natural mineral pigments locally known as curioles. This material is applied on paper by artist Magda Cordoba along with watercolor to create a stunning abstract painting that is part of her "Lands of my Land" series inspired by her country's traditions and history. "Making these works of art I find the union between body, spirit and matter," says the artist.

Working with watercolor and the natural mineral pigments traditionally used in pottery in her native Costa Rica, artist Magda Cordoba captures on paper an abstract composition inspired by Lee Ufan, the renowned Korean artist and philosopher that has been a big influence in her career. Ufan stands out in Asian abstract minimalism because his process and materials are more important to him than the final result, which is something Cordoba emulates and pays homage to. This modern painting is part of her "Infinity Series" and comes with a cardboard mat and a foamboard base.
