First Step
I am nervous and excited as I begin my first piece in this new studio. This is the first time I work with so much natural light and a well ventilated space. I love being able to see what I'm creating so clearly and more so because I can breathe easily while I'm doing it.
Meet my New Studio
A high ceiling, a glass wall of natural light, and a balcony filled with plants that contrasts with the urban view of Mexico City, makes my new studio the perfect creative space.
New Home: Villa Olimpica
Meet my new home in the south of Mexico City.
My apartment is part of a complex built to house the athletes during the 1968 Olympics. The adjacent forest and mountains cool the air and make the rains last longer. The surrounding volcanic landscape is home to the National University, the Museum of Contemporary Art, and the colonial town of Tlalpan. Monumental sculptures line every street.
As always, my studio is in my home, so creativity can be part of my daily life.
Forging Stool
When I tell people that I am a jeweler, they say: oh, you design jewelry. No, I reply, I am like a small-scale blacksmith.
Work Bench
Where ideas come to life.
Morning Light
Morning light in my painting studio.
Springtime
Spring is my favorite time of year.
The afternoon sun floods my living room and studio, and the jacaranda trees outside the window are covered with flowers.
Muna loves it too!
