This year’s signature artists are husband-and-wife team Veronica and Gabriel Sandoval. This talented duo specializes in the ancient art of repoussé, a form of metal embossing that became popular in Spain in the 12th century and made its way to Mexico along with other Spanish influences. After extensively researching the history of this nearly lost art form, the Sandovals chose to incorporate into their work additional repoussé techniques that were common in Eastern European designs.
