Jesus-Rafael

 

I am Jesus Rafael, a Huichol native from the north of the mountains of the state of Jalisco, my specialty is making crafts that are made with colored beads strung on needles, which are then inlaid with wax on wooden or resin figures. In them I capture my designs and figures whose symbols have a very important meaning for our people, such as the peyote that symbolizes health and success; the corn that represents prosperity and the center that is the eye of God that means protection.
