Story Behind the Art:
I've been working with you only since 2018. I must admit that， at first， I wasn't optimistic about the response my designs could generate. When I started working on my ceramics in 2016， my goal was to reinvent the Talavera style with a focus on color triads. We wanted to create utilitarian objects for the trends in interior design. For this， we focus on choosing colors that allow a piece to stand out in any space in the home. During this time， we haven't been structured as a company so as to create a more comfortable environment for our artisans. This has benefited us in the quality of each design we make. From the beginning， we understood that we had to reinvent the Talavera style and that the approach and new design techniques were applicable to this beautiful branch of art. And it worked for us. Our designs are liked wherever we present them. And it is our duty to provide the highest quality. The message we want to convey is that there is a reason for the colors we use and that the Talavera style can go hand-in-hand with design and fashion trends that complement each other. The lovely town of Dolores Hidalgo is well-known for its ceramic tradition， an art promoted more than 200 years ago by the parish priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla. He went on to become one of the leaders of Mexican independence. It was my family who taught me this art so characteristic of the area. I found a complement in my love for reading. But more than anything， it's been the continual experimentation， knowing each part of my work and its variants that have let me master it. It is the experimentation that I like best about my work ― the challenge to achieve a determined color， finish， or form. In each design， I strive to convey the essence of my beautiful Mexico， the culture that surrounds this magical town. The world of ceramics is complex and enigmatic. The challenges we've faced have helped us learn a great deal more. A ceramist must be committed to every aspect of the crafting process and be willing to learn every single day. The handmade touch of artisan skill creates variations in color， size， and design. If buying two of the same item， slight differences should be expected.
