It all began in my native Catamarca, Argentina, in my parents\u2019 small shop, called \u201cAlmac\u00e9n del Asador\u201d. It was a magical place, filled with the scent of wood and ceramics; a space where people came to buy handcrafted objects, but also where connections were made and stories were shared. My teenage years were shaped by this world of craftsmanship, which came to life during our family gatherings around the asado.<\/p>

I remember those journeys with my parents and my brothers and sisters, in search of stories and handcrafted pieces. Every encounter was an adventure, every object a surprise, carrying a living story passed down from generation to generation, shaped from the materials that Pachamama, our Mother Earth, so generously gave us. These experiences were always accompanied by the pure, breathtaking beauty of our landscape, a source of inspiration and peace.<\/p>

Our family retreat was \u201cEl Chorro\u201d, in Ancasti. Our weekend home, perched in the mountains, was filled with crafts inspired by pre-Columbian peoples, which we used naturally in our everyday lives, as though these objects were part of us. In our family, ceramics are part of our identity. Each piece had its own charm; the colours, the patterns \u2014 everything fascinated me endlessly.<\/p>

Over time, the family shop eventually closed its doors. But the seed of craftsmanship had already taken root, both within my family and within me. Today, my mother and my younger sister carry on this heritage with \u201cFlor del Aire Catamarca\u201d, while I continue what we began through \u201cOR\u00cdGENES Art et Artisanat\u201d.<\/p>

For me, it is a way of sharing the beauty and cultural richness of Catamarca with the world, and bringing some of the talent and passion of Argentine artisans here to France. It is a way of building a bridge between my adopted home and my much-loved homeland.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
