ABOUT THE ARTIST
Rosa Maria D'Alvarez was born in Nayarit, Mexico. She was brought up in a
family full of cultural traditions, learning the technique of repujado at
the age of 10. D'Alvarez studied Fishing Engineering and worked in the field
for 25 years. When she retired, she went back to the teachings of her mother
to work in
repujado, which she has now done with much eagerness and pleasure for the
last 9 years. To be passionate about something, to create something
is to live: to teach and transmit it to new generations is fascinating,
says the artist.
