Demetrio and Yolanda

Demetrio and Yolanda have been happily married for more than 26 years and have dedicated their lives to the beautiful realm of hand-crafted art. Demetrio has a strong creative instinct, which he has complemented over the years with different art courses.

"At first I worked for other people, until I was able to save enough to start our own workshop," recalls Demetrio. "My wife and I split the work; I design, carve and sculpt while she applies all the finishing touches."

While Demetrio speaks, Yolanda looks on with happiness filling her eyes. It is obvious to see how proud she is of her husband and she continuously boasts of his artistic abilities. "Our goal is to transmit the versatile artistry of wood as taught by Mother Nature – our teacher.

"The biggest challenge we had to face was starting the workshop while bringing up our family, but working together we found the strength to overcome whatever difficulty came our way.

"We would like to encourage Novica clients to trust in the quality of our work, which is handmade and has a rustic finish. It is done with love, hoping to be appreciated in a little corner in your home. Gracias!"
