The wooden creations of siblings, Teresa
Gutierrez and Alba Más, are Caribbean-influenced.
From an early age, siblings, Teresa and Alba have been artistically
driven to experiment with various media including pen and ink, fabrics,
and fibers, but have decidedly focused on the whimsically painted
wooden desirables for which they have become known over the past
20 years.
Their joyful celebration of color is the prevalent hallmark of their
work; it reflects not only their island origins, but also the folk-art
inspirations of Mexico where as youngsters the two traveled every
summer with their family. Their passion for creativity has found
prolific expression in their playful and often functional wooden
articles: furniture, mirrors, boxes, decorative figures and many
other art pieces. |
