Ceramic nativity sculpture, 'Andean Church'

Awesome and detailed Nativity

I love this nativity. Dionisio crafted and painted each figure and the Church with great care. It is even more beautiful than the picture shows. It also came so well packaged that there was no chance for it to have any damage. I am glad I purchased it. I was going to donate it to an auction, but I think we will keep it and give the auction something else.

Wood sculpture, 'Nazareth Family'

A beautiful and expressive piece

This is a truly wonderful, handmade work of art. The carving is smoothly and expertly done; the wood grain is beautifully showcased. Although this piece has an exquisite simplicity to it, the love between Mary and Joseph and their love for the Holy Child is evident, as Mary and Baby Jesus are cradled in Joseph’s arms. It is one of those pieces where the artist hasn’t had to create something complicated or overly intricate in order to convey so much. Fernando Castro has “spoken” in a whisper - yet, when you hold this special and artful piece in your hands, his message of love, heartfelt compassion, and respect can be heard as powerfully and clearly as if he had shouted it from a mountain top.

Wood retablo, 'Blue Nativity'

Love the colors of the Retablo

The Nativity Retablo is a perfect size for where I want to use it. I love the blue colors of the night sky and the stars. The figures are really colorful, too. I really like it. The only problem with the "Blue Nativity" I bought--he didn't allow the colors to dry all the way, so the door stuck and some of the paint pulled away from the wood in about 5 small spots on the door and the front of the shelves. I am going to try to find some paint to match and touch up those spots, because I love the Retablo and don't want to return it. I received it more quickly than was promised, but wish that he had waited one more day to send it, to make sure the paint was dry.
