Something about me

My Name is Maria Jose Urzua


I am a Chilean artist
I Working with my hands and heart



TECHNICAL Macrame,
The materials we use are basicamene stones, resins, fossils, waxed thread, alpaca metals like copper and silver.


My main inspiration to make this collection is based in nature, and his magical powers within its natural beauty, travel took me to many places around South America, Central America and northern South America, each of these unique places to another, where I found real materials with their natural beauty, such as stones, resins, Focil among others.
I knew the stories of peoples and culture, ancestral origin of these stones and resins used in a magical and functional for everyday life.
The macrame technique I learned during my trip, is based in knots, and the material I use is Brazilian waxed thread. High quality does not lose its color or texture. With fresh and salt water.
