Quisucar

"I was born in Cuzco on January 22, 1975, and I come from a family of master ceramists. My parents taught me everything I know, from preparing the clay, using the potter's wheel and shaping the pieces, and hand-painting the motifs. By the time I was 22 years old I was working on my own.

"I enjoy mixing the old with the new, unifying cultures into one. My hands guide me, and that's the most amazing part of my art. I love the exchange of happy and radiant colors that makes each piece more luminous.

"I want to transmit my parents' origins and my country's history and culture through the life and joy of colors.

"For me, the greatest challenge is to ensure my work is appreciated and admired by people from all around the world. In that sense, I would like people to know that my work comes from a desire for people to know about our customs and traditions. This is what I do for you, and I hope you recognize the value of our hands' efforts in each ceramic piece."
