We mainly use, paper, fabrics, metal, paints, patinas and lacquer, thus insuring unique objects, finished with wax and pigments.We use the collagetechnique to perform our objects. This are: small pieces of paper cut by hand to create the layout of each object and leave the imprint of the hand made. In this sense, every object is unique and has been made based on this principal.In some pieces the technique is developed on objects with wooden base and in the case of the tapestries they are made on basis of Kraft paper. Painting is not used, but rather is work with the original colors of the paper. In all cases the objects are finished with the patinas wax technique.Enjoy the world of Arte de Origen. « less

It’s hard to believe that Cabo San Lucas just doesn't have many good art galleries. But Arte de Origen is definitely a worthwhile visit. The gallery is well staffed with friendly and knowledgeable staff. We were offered a small bottle of water when we walked in and the gallery attendant allowed us to look around at our own pace.

This shop is on a side street in Cabo San Lucas, but is well worth going out of your way to find. I could have bought so many gorgeous, totally original things here, but the budget would only allow me to buy what I call "an art box". The technique is one i've never seen before--designs created with placing pieces... More

We went searching for authentic and original Mexican artwork, and happened upon this store in Cabo San Lucas. The pieces aren't vintage, and all of them have a modern flare to them that one would not "typically" associate with folk artwork. However, upon closer inspection, each piece does have elements of Mexican folklore in the technique, or the details. The... More

I bought 3 beautiful boxes from this gallery and had them shipped to Houston. They arrived on time in less than a week and so well packaged in bubble wrap that I could hardly get them out of their safe haven! They arrived with no damage whatsoever and are as beautiful as they were in the shop. The art work... More

We happened upon this beautiful shop after breakfast....how refreshing to find beautiful artwork that is out of the norm. Carlos was extremely friendly and let us browse at our leisure..no pressure. Prices are reasonable and there's no need to haggle. Shipping was included and our piece arrived as promised in 5 days undamaged. Check this gallery out. You'll be glad... More

The manager was very knowledgeable in regards to how the art was made and it was a surprise to hear the shipping cost was included if needed (even to New Zealand!). I... More
