    The meeting of two cultures is found on this piece that fuzes the creativity of the mexican artisans from two states of Mexico: Jalisco and Oaxaca. Marakame innovates and integrates the abbilities of the Zapotecas artisans, fuzing the pieces made of copal tree wood by their hands, with the cosmovision painted through the crystal beads perfect handling of the Wixaritari-Huichol artists that glue one by one them for a period of 90 to 300 days. The owner of this piece is carrying with him the ancestral memories of the daily work of the mexican cultures on the contemporaneous world.
    About us
    Marakame
    is a brand that proposes a creative way to merge art, design and culture. We believe that we can converge this trilogy of concepts through our project of Diffusion and Commercialization of unique pieces of Art Wixarika (huichol). Our pieces are made by Huichol families from different rural communities that mainly live in the Sierra Madre Occidental of the state of Jalisco.
    The central idea of this project is also to disseminate, commercialize and revalue pieces of Huichol art, traditionally considered as "crafts"; it is to show that the realization of a piece and its mythical symbology are intimately intricate with a social and cultural dimension little known to the world.
    Our artwork

    Marakame
    we have works that are made using two basic techniques: beading and yarn painting. Which are carried out in an exhaustive period that goes from a week to months of work.

    Marakame
    we specialize in the projection and sale of collectibles and we take care together with the huichol artists of the impeccable manufacture of each piece. The elements of the worldview of these artists are reflected in it, making them unique and unrepeatable artworks, as each artist has a particular way of expressing their feelings, colors, shapes and visions. From the elements that have been shaping for centuries for their spiritual importance, such as the blue deer, corn, the eagle and the "tuutœ" (peyote) rose, all descendants of the Sun God "Tau"; to the emerging symbology of contemporary Huichol artists with a conceptual meaning, which has emerged from the Huichol culture and its magical traditions.
