Oscar Rojas

........................................

Born in Lima he moved to his parents hometown; Ayacucho, at an early age until he was 13. Back in the capital, he started working with some relative who were artisans. This way he acquired experience in

the business, until he decided to run his own shop to work on textiles and later on wooden balconies. It took him three years to perfect the art of making said balconies, during which he had to create his own tools that allowed him to really depict his creativity correctly. His inspiration comes from his childhood in Ayacucho, as well as his visits to other peruvian cities, full of houses made of clay or tile roofs, from the XVIII, and XIX century buildings found in Lima, to obtain a unique work.

William Torres

........................................

William Torres has been sculpting on wood for the last 18 years. With his family dedicated entirely to the art of sculpting on different types of wood, William started at the age of 14. Their art was initiated by his

grandfather in Cuzco. William Torres and his brothers attended art school in Cuzco (Escuela de bellas artes de Cuzco) with the intention of improving their skills & knowledge. The Torres family works with first-rate wood, like cedar, mahogany & walnut. The characteristic of their work is their creativity in applying the essence of other Peruvian forms of art, such as ceramics to set apart from the norm. By mixing elements from the Inca culture with modern genres they have obtained a unique design style.
