Update (August, 2019)
It's been an extraordinary adventure to be work with you. You've allowed us to expand our market and have given us a lot of personal confidence that we are on the right track.
We still have a lot to learn, but we continue to create designs that show the cultural beauty of our roots. And we showcase this technique, so special and modern. The great purpose of our work is to create modern craftsmanship with a different style. You have helped us to believe in and expand that dream, and take a bit of Mexico to the world.
I think that one of the challenges we always face is the challenge of innovation. Since ours is a new and growing technique, few people are familiar with it.
Original Artisan Story
Beatriz and Anthony are trailblazing artisans who successfully fuse modern technology with traditional Mexican art forms. They combine 3D printing methods with hand painting to create unique and colorful sculptures and other decorative articles.
What has let us do well in this innovative project is the fusing of art with new technologies to create new forms and figures that are congruent with a commitment to the environment.
I found I became enthralled with each of the details in the process of this craft. It is already quite famous in industrial fields. It's interesting to see how we can use this art and improve the quality of each design.
Over time, I observed and practiced different techniques and realized this art isn't easy. But there is no substitute for constant practice.
We consider ourselves a respectful and hardworking couple, and these are two of our best tools for creating original designs.
We use eco-friendly materials such as corn fibers and polymers. We also use sustainable packing materials that let us be congruent with our love for Mother Earth.
One of my most characteristic touches is the finishing. It makes a piece quite light, and this creates a slightly surreal feeling. I love sharing each of my designs as well as their extraordinary crafting process with others.
Starting out with this project has been a challenge, as our creativity must be constantly renewed. And once we've brought our idea to life, we must move on to the next design. This should be a never-ending process.
This part of the work is indispensable — it's where inspiration acquires more force. A great deal of my motivation comes from my family. They have accompanied me during each and every moment as I grow daily.
My family is an important part of my workshop and each person has a different task. We don't seek quantity, we want quality, and this is a great source of inspiration.
We are able to create jobs for a small workforce of very creative women who demonstrate their incredible talent.
Our common goal is to make our work known in other parts of the world and, with your help, we will.
