About the Artists: This multidisciplinary studio-workshop, with its unmistakable personal stamp, has conquered the world. Inspired by the study of the art of the different civilisations that settled in the Mediterranean such as the Roman Empire, the Tartessians, Phoenicians or Greeks and their votive offerings to the gods, from which comes the name of their brand, The Exvotos, they have recovered and reinvented traditional craft techniques, the result of continuous research and experimentation.
