Puerto Rican Artist Nuni Canals

Born in 1953. She has lived in her “adopted home,” Guatemala for more than 20 years. She began to explore sculpture out of curiosity and considers herself self-taught in the discipline though she has undertaken formal studies. She sees herself as an artesian with a passion for building, experimenting and working with materials of all types in the three dimensional form. Her themes of choice center around her experience as a woman; her role as a mother and as global ambassador for peaceful relations. Her art is a tool for searching, not only for herself but establishing links with family, society and the spaces in which we all live.
