The imagination holds millions of wonderfully complex and simple spirits who are always ready and willing to help us learn more about who we really are. I honor these spirits by giving them clothes, faces, and bodies to move around in. The gifts they have given me in return are priceless. I invite you to honor your imaginary selves and open to the inner wisdom your creativity will reveal to you. My inner spirits invite your inner spirits to come out and play. The answers to the universe lie within your own heart. -- Lucretia

Unique artist. Unusual maskart. "Over the years, metal sheet, wood and flint furniture become big masks and weathercocks: installations in nature done with corrugated irons worn by the time, with flint and rough wood. Through installations of flints, metal sheets, rubber, and steel, between fire and wind, Nicolas Sersiron seeks to create this gap with the reality which opens on imaginary and emotional adventure. The path?s track is visible, the destination remains unknown? "

Silver jewelry interpretations of masks from different cultures Says Jessica : "I was always been fascinated by masks, even as a child. I've traveled and seen a lot, studied native images. I have a special feeling for how to transpose these images into jewelry. I believe in staying on my own path, even if it is different. I see concepts in nature and the arts and transform them into wearable art. Inspired by the area she lives in, Jessica created the "Wine Designs" series, made especially for wine lovers.

NOVICA ARTIST Jaime Zapata Espinoza, born in Lima in 1953, is dedicated to a very interesting craft-- creating masks inspired by his profound Peruvian roots. Made with loving patience, each mask is unique and can express every feeling in the human heart, from happiness to deep sorrow. "I'm an architect, but since I was young I've dedicated a part of my time to the handcrafting of masks. The objective of my work is to transmit human emotions in seemingly animated objects. I use recycled paper and textiles, cans, and some vegetal elements like rushes. Colors are given with natural oxides and earths. For decorating my pieces I also use hand-woven elements with Inca motifs. Each mask is cast with milled paper, dried and finished by hand in elaborating the particular characteristics of a human face in a specific expression. Each piece is unique, and some of them have an aged appearance achieved with a layer of patina. Some masks have rushes and tresses made of fiber ropes. The final step is a layer of lacquer for protecting the pigments.

NOVICA ARTIST "I came into contact with bamboo and its varied techniques thanks to my teacher, Ripper, when I was studying Industrial Design at Rio de Janeiro's Pontifнcia Universidade Catуlica. Bamboo is an ideal material, all its fibers are longitudinal which enables the hand-crafting of resistant pieces. Whereas wood takes up to 60 years before it can be used, bamboo grows in six years and from every stalked removed, two more sprout. Its is an abundant prime material, renewable, that does not promote floor erosion. "
