Patricia Jara

"I was born in the city of Lima on August 30, 1962. Since 1992, I've been dedicated to varied artesian manifestations in regions throughout the country, and making discoveries in order to show the world the great variety of folklore that exists in the different Peruvian provinces.

"My artistic formation is entirely self-taught - it is a personal search. I find nourishment within the art of our ancestors, the experience of master artisans, and the influence of foreign designers. I seek to develop products with identity, in accordance with the needs and tendencies of the international market. Handicrafts are my life's passion – it achieves the perfect equilibrium between art and people, sensitizing us. It allows me to be in contact with my pueblo - people with a very special philosophy about life, that encloses an innate art in their hands."
