The Market is open!

Welcome! I am the son of a great mask making tradition in Puerto Rico! And as such, I am privy to the ins and outs of two distinct lines of Artisans, ready to trade their work for a fair price. Their line of work is "Mascaras de higūera"" painted gourd masks.

Jacinto Ramirez: He's been on the businessmen for 20 years, acquiring a style few dare imitate and none successfully so. His style is influenced heavilly by post modernism and picasso. If you want to buy product from Jacinto Ramirez, or more info it's JACINTORAM7@GMAIL.COM











Carmen Cruz was his wife for nearly 30 years, and as such, she has aquired a all the secrets to the trade, and a style all her own. You could say she's the next generation . If you want to buy product from Carmen Cruz, or more info it's batzarro@yahoo.com










This Blog is dedicated to these two. And their masks.
