Benefits

Crafts and Peace

Weaving

Weaving is patience, it's calmness, it's thinking, it's meditating, it's giving time to time, it's intertwining ideas to create thoughts and interweaving them to create coexistence. Weaving is peace.

Environment

Anthropology

I started working with the colombian cultural identity, but I realized that ancestral cultures were similar if their natural environment was similar, just as human beings of the 21st century have similar problems and reactions to them. A basket from Colombia resembles one from Egypt, as today a bag from Colombia resembles one from Japan. So today I work with the ancient cultures of the world.

Origin of the work

The indigenous people, along with the Afro-descendants and peasants have been my masters. Defending their cultural identity in the international contemporary world through my art language is defending myself.
