About this item

"'I represent the Holy Family - Mary, Joseph and Jesus - in the hands of God that take care of us and support us. His hands are always there to lift us up in good times and bad,' Javier Ramirez says. He sculpts the beautiful image of cedar wood and paints it by hand. Applications of bronze leaf add a golden shine.

A hook at the back facilitates wall display."

Javier Ramirez

In 2003, I decided to go my own way as I wanted to work on my original designs. I have always enjoyed carving! I love the look of wood, its color and natural appearance. My brother taught me how to find the detail in every little corner. He has inspired me to continue improving my work.

I studied at the Don Bosco Art School for five years and, when I graduated, they offered me a teaching position. I worked there for four years, until I decided to return to carving. I joined my family when they were commissioned to work on a screen for the Church of the Assumption in my village. It meant a lot to each one of us. It was a great challenge and it is a fond memory that we now share.

I describe my work as figurative. My ambition to become a great artist is what motivates me, and I would like my work to be remembered. In addition to religious themes, I work with Inca themes as well, which we sometimes forget.

The greatest challenge I have faced is to survive in this art form, and explore other media such as sculpting or painting.

I hope you all will like my work, which I have made for you with dedication and care.
