I always had a very close relationship with handicrafts. I grew up among the tools of my father's workshop, where he mounted tropical fish. My brother and I were his main assistants. Over the years, my father began to withdraw from this activity since, to search for fish, he had to make long trips to the interior of the country. This was when I saw a viable opportunity to develop my own artisan activity, and thus I began to continue the family's work – carving tropical birds of wood.
Once I saw a wooden decorative gull that a friend brought back from a vacation in Porto Seguro. I found it very interesting, but it lacked movement. Inspired by my friend's bird, I created a gull with bendable wings that allowed it to move in the wind.
"To sell my work on the Internet was always a dream of mine. I believe that if people see my birds and wooden objects on the screen, they will certainly be interested. Now you and many others in the entire world will have easier access to my art."

NOVICA was started with a dream to create a better world for artisans, because a better world for artisans is a better world for all.
Along the way, the founders of NOVICA discovered something very important - as artisans around the world succeeded, there was also a visible and profound impact on the communities around them.
Your purchases are that powerful. They directly and indirectly provide for education, help with health care, fund basic needs, support children, preserve disappearing arts, and of course, spread happiness around the world.
The founders of NOVICA had a vision of the future that is not one of mega factories producing cookie cutter products for all to cheaply consume. Instead, a bright future that celebrates artisans who take the time to create an item by hand. A future where time is protected, where stories are told, where unique details are honored. Love, respect, inclusiveness become driving force.
