I am a guitar-maker and although we do shape wood in a variety of ways I am not a sculptor. I have a good aesthetic sense and I can make wood obey my commands but I have only ever called myself an artisan. I don’t have that artistic sense necessary for creating images; not to mention I lack the specific skills to carve one of the most difficult woods. This image was created by Juan Antonio Carmona who works in the nearby village of Santa Fe.

Simplicio used modernist images or in some cases things that looked like they were inspired in Latin american mythology. Here the client asked for a specific image and I think we managed to fill the bill.
