I learned stone carving since I was very young. From all those crafts, I've chosen the stone of Huamanga because our characters are very alike. My work portrays religious motifs, and some daily scenes of the Peruvian people. My craft is simple - I choose the stone pieces according to the form I intend to create on it. The block is sawed and carved with chisels, burins and drills. Later, the piece is detailed and sanded, enhancing the beauty of its natural finish. As the stone of Huamanga is very fragile, it has to be carefully handled, and a small hit in the wrong place can be enough for destroying a piece at any stage.
