About the Artist

Agustin Cruz Tinoco is a father who took risks and left everything he had to build something far bigger than himself.

He is a father who taught his children the importance of hard work and passion for whatever they decide to do in life. Through their pieces, the Cruz family teaches you the journey of the few who reinvented the wood-carving world, uncovering their souls in their art.

 

"When my sons returned home in the afternoon from school, I showed them how to carve…how to cut the wood, how to do all the different processes and cuts.I pushed the girls to try painting, showing them how the final pieces would look and which colors I liked to use. My wife dedicated herself to polishing and caulking so that it was left ready for painting.  I couldn’t do these things because I had to carve wood, and it was like that inside the family that we helped each other," says Mr. Agustin Cruz.
