About the Artist:
Abel has spent 23 years as a jeweler originally from Jalisco and 17 years living in Todos Santos. The idea of how art is the creative and conscious manifestation between the human being and the universe, through the ability to maintain a prolonged focus and concentration. Curiosity has led him to transcend jewelry and delve into sculpture, using recycled materials to raise awareness of the garbage problem in our community. Seeker of human truth and the causes of its behavior.

About the Art:
Cosmodesierto
The roadrunner, is adapted to maintain balance with the desert. Its reflexes help it survive in the ever-changing, rain-dependent environment of the Baja California Sur desert. It is adapted to live in droughts; it is a mysterious animal capable of devouring rattlesnakes. It is a very resilient and swift animal at the same time.
To be a roadrunner is to be part of a unique and complete cosmos. Where humans see a limited desert, the roadrunner sees a perfect universe, even where the notion of time is irrelevant. The desert guides the roadrunner to an infinite and perfect space, where running elevates the definition of love to a perfect state of mind.
Burro
The donkey with a human body represents how moral consciousness manages the instinctive essence of impulses and anger. Wearing the mask can transform your personality into a completely free state of being. Braying, stamping, and wagging your tail can free you from the foundations of human ethics and morality and feel the essence of your psyche change.
Cactus, the grandfather of the desert.
