Story Behind the Art:
Pablo Castellanos has dreamed of being an artisan since he was a little boy. 'My first piece of traditional silverwork was a Maya design bracelet with quetzal birds, crafted when I was 11. Today I dream of being able to leave my daughter an art that has been in our family for several generations.'
