Product Description
NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work directly with the finest artisan designers. Sleek and beautiful, prehistoric horses appear in a cave painting. Raul Fuenzalida emulates ancient art, hand-painted on a ceramic plate. The antique-style piece is displayed on a wrought iron stand. Artisan Info: "I was born in Valparaiso, Chile. From the time I was in primary school, I liked art very much so I took painting classes from a teacher who had won the Premio Nacional de Pintura in Chile. I graduated from the Universidad Catolica de Valparaiso with a degree in architecture and then went on to study fine art. I won a regional award for my murals. "In 1979, I moved to Mexico. I opened a jewelry workshop where my designs were at the vanguard in my field. I participated in a number of statewide events. Destiny and my move to Mexico led to my good fortune in meeting Patricia, my wife. I moved to her hometown and began to design for artisan workshops. Eventually I had created a line of decorative items and opened my own workshop with the help of my wife and, today with the help of our children. Together, we design pieces that are distinct from those you see elsewhere. "Here in Mexico, I've had the opportunity to participate in several national events. I received the prize for design development and innovation in Mexican handicrafts, and my creations appear in collections in a number of countries. "My process begins with clay. Some designs are cast in molds
