She has honed this technique through extensive training with both national and international artists. Her favorite creations are Nativity scenes. She personally oversees the entire process—beginning with natural sheep's wool, moving through the dyeing stage, and culminating in the sculpting of the figures, which are crafted entirely from this material.

Alicia made her first oil painting at nine years old in Mexico, with a private art teacher her parents hired. Shortly after, she moved to the United States, and like so many things from that life, art took a backseat. She held art closely to her through school, and eventually earned a Vice Presidential Scholarship in Graphic Design at Utah Valley Community College.

But practicality has a way of winning, at least for a while. She stepped away, built a life, and kept finding her way back to art in whatever form she could. Eventually she came back fully. Watercolor first, then acrylics, then back to where it all began: oils.

Her work explores what it means to exist between worlds — as a Mexican-born woman raised in Utah, as someone who has always been ni de aquí ni de allá, not fully from here, not fully from there. The paintings are about quiet strength. About being underestimated and misread. About the fire that stays lit no matter what gets set aside.

Maria Elena Gómez was born in Navil, Chiapas, Mexico. She started learning about the art of weaving when she was 5 years old when her mother taught her how to weave on a backstrap loom. First by teaching her to make little balls of yarn, to measure and embroider, and finally to weave. She went on to become a trilingual nurse (Tzeltal, Tzotzil and Spanish) and worked in this profession for 16 years. Her indigenous traditions, heritage, culture and knowledge have always guided her life. Although life took her away from home at a very young age, almost five decades later, when she put the loom around her waist again, her hands automatically knew what to do. Her desire to focus on textile art as a way to get closer to her roots, and especially her mother, is largely what is at the heart of Textiles Luum.

Vicente J.C. Martínez Romo a fine artist and multidisciplinary designer, was born in beautiful Mexico City. His natural love for drawing and art was noticed from an early age. His interest was cultivated by his older brother during adolescence, which encouraged him to finish his degree in industrial design. For that reason, it is not surprising that some of his pieces are related to interior design, practices that the artist has professionally developed.

Another great influence is that of Mexican icon, Ramon Valdiosera Berman creator of the "Mexican pink” with whom he worked for more than ten years in mural painting. Vicente studied a master’s degree in Digital Creative Design, which allowed him to teach at various Universities in Mexico City since 2006. His discipline has allowed him to promote and spread his passion for art and design in new generations.

Alejandro Mendoza is a textile artist based between Oaxaca, Mexico and California, working primarily on a traditional Spanish-style floor loom. Rooted in Zapotec weaving traditions learned from his family, his practice explores the intersection of heritage and contemporary design. Each piece is woven using hand-dyed wool colored with natural pigments such as cochineal, indigo, pomegranate, and marigold, creating compositions that emphasize balance, texture, and architectural form. His work moves beyond function, positioning textiles as spatial and artistic elements within modern interiors. Through El Huizache Studio, Mendoza develops collections that honor ancestral techniques while engaging with a refined, contemporary visual language.

Talavera Azul is a family workshop located in Puebla, Mexico, where each piece is handmade, from the preparation of the clay to the personal decoration of each piece.

Through Talavera pottery, we hope to continue sharing part of our heritage with new generations.

Gabriel assists with the oxidation techniques that bring depth, movement, and rich patinas to the work. Together, they incorporate acrylics and oils, resulting in luminous surfaces that interact dynamically with light.
