She´s my great-grandma Alicia Caceres and she as an artisan. She is 85 years old and she still works. She is a metal-smith. In other words she works with different type of metal and also she works with semi-precious stone. She has two children, six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. She has a big family.
I choose her because I admire her very much. She is an incredible and strong woman. She has been a teacher, a metal-smith master, mother, grandmother and great- grandmother.
The passion that she puts in her work is amazing. Any person can feel that, because it´s as if every piece she makes, takes a piece of herself. She is working in your own house, because she and her deceased husband transformed the house in a home-studio.
She participated at the many art fair. The most important one was organized by the University Catholic of the Chile. In this exhibitions she could show a lot of her pieces of work and the people could buy them.
Some of her works:
your great-grandmother its awesome!
