Collection: Santos & Esther Bautista

Santos Bautista is the son of Jose Bautista and grandson of Antonio Bautista, one of the pioneers of Huichol art in the 1960's. Because of his experience we have imported new Czech glass beads with metallic and iridescent colors for Santos to work with. The colors Santos uses are softer which allow him to create better detail. This separates his work from the rest of the artists. Unlike most commercial art, which is made up of symbols that at times can seem like quilting or patchwork patterns. Santos uses details and color combinations to create a sense of motion. He is also the winner of the 2009 FONART Competition as the best Bead Artist.
