More about the Artists:

Internationally known for it's unique personality, character and originality,
the Artesania Rinconada Collection is is truly one of the finest examples of
contemporary ceramic design and craftmanship.
Hand-crafted ceramic design was created by twin brothers Jesus and Javier Carbajales during the fall of 1972 in Montevideo, Uruguay. The Carbajales were born in Spain in 1930 and moved to Uruguay when the Spanish Civil
War erupted in 1936. The brothers, however, did not forget their artistic roots. They
were strongly influenced by Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali and Joan Miro; three Spanish artists whose work dominated the first half of the 20th century.


The Carbajales chose nature as their subject and their sculptures blend a
traditional South American Style with a surrealist flair. The name
Artesania Rinconada is a Spanish phrase meaning “Art of the corner” or
“Corner art” and was chosen because the brothers worked out of a
small corner of their living room for many years.
