About me:
Passion by design. I remember as a child I would sit in my room for hours. I would draw, create art, anything that was art related I would do. I am Salvador, the artist. When I lost my job of 8 years, I felt lost. I recall there was a ceramics class in the neighborhood, so I signed up. That was in 2002. I have always enjoyed drawing portraits, so sculpting faces seemed like a natural progression.
The masks represent a mixture of my Mexican descent and influences from ancient Mayan culture. In 2004 I got a chance to visit the pyramids of Yucatan Mexico and fell in love with the Mayan ruins, which has become a great influence in my work.
The work I have put into my mascaras and cavasas has helped me embrace my Mexican/American heritage and has also served to heal my soul.
To this date I have created over one hundred masks. I have started to branch out into boxes, incense burners, candle holders, vases and light fixtures, plant holders all mask/face related.
