Pablo Reza

Pablo Reza

Pablo was born in the Wixarika (Huichol) community of San Andres de Cohamiata, in Jalisco, populated by just 1317 inhabitants, and located over 1940 meters above sea level in the mountains.

Housing in his town is very humble, they lack tap water or electricity, and the main activity of its residents is self-procuring agriculture, cattle raising, and the production and selling of traditional arts and crafts.

Pablo’s family consists of four members, his father who is a farmer, his mother, the homemaker, and his younger brother, who just as his father is also dedicated to farming. Pablo is the only family member who is dedicated to the Arts, even though he started doing it at a late age, when he was 21, Pablo makes incredible pieces both with Chaquiras (small colored beads) and Yarn. His work is impeccable, and his favorite works are those who represent animals of any kind.

In order to sell his Art, Pablo rides downhill on his horse from the Sierra Madre Occidental, the path is irregular and hazardous, and the commute downhill takes around 8 hours. After he’s finally reached, he continues his journey to Tonala, where he is received at a friend’s house for a few days while he sells his pieces to galleries in Tlaquepaque and other locations, he also uses the opportunity for taking orders, not only for his products, but also for other members of his community, he has committed himself to bringing more work back to his town.

Pablo has become friends with other Artisans and has innovated his own art by uniting his work with that of other Artisans, such as he has done with his close friend Master Artisan Pablo Pajarito, they have fused their techniques, resulting in beautiful figures such as Canelo Clay Skulls with their faces covered in Stunning Chaquira. Pablo loves tradition, but he also is an innovator by excellence, giving a new focus to Huichol (Wixarika) Arts.
