Each piece includes acrylic stand.

About Huichol: According to Cosmovision (the Meso-American explanation and understanding of the universe) of the Huichol people, the gods speak to men through colors. This is one of the few artistic processes that is invariably linked to a mystical sense - the spirit as a raw material of art and vice versa. Every piece from this group is inspired by visions experienced during a peyote ritual. Huichol products usually use wax as an adhesive for the thousands of beads that each work contains. We use a special glue instead of wax to make these works of art less fragile and heat resistant.

Catalina and Mariana, lifelong friends from Monterrey, Mexico. Despite growing up just two blocks from each other, they now reside in different countries, with Catalina remaining in Mexico and Mariana settling in Austin, Texas. The geographical distance between them has ignited a shared passion: to bridge the gap between the US market and the rich tapestry of Mexican art they hold dear to their hearts. Their mission is to shine a spotlight on the abundant talent within their native Mexico and introduce it to an eager audience waiting to discover its beauty and creativity.
