The life of an ‘Craftsman’ at sea

Artists are a wonderful group of people because they can create and observe unique and original things. They can beautify a city, a house or a life through their talents. Within a town of natives like Ayampe who live in the sea, there are experienced artisans.

The life of an artisan in the sea is of double honor, because they have the ability to work with materials that last over time due to the sea salt that affects their works of art. When it comes to works of art, it refers to the wonders of objects such as lamps, beds, houses, signs carved in wood completely by hand.

The whole town of Ayampe is decorated by signage signs, by cabins, inns, and restaurants with wood that make this place unique. All of this is thanks to the talented artisans who over the years have cultivated and preserved the art of carpentry.

For them, their source of inspiration is the sea and its ancestral customs, since Ayampe many years ago was a civilization that traded with the whole world through the sea. In other words, his art can be replicated in similar places such as Indonesia, Colombia, Mexico, among others.

Without a doubt, artisans are beings worthy of admiration and value, what a fortune! You can find them in Ayampe.
