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

Arte de Origen is just around the corner from the front entrance to the one and only Mall in CSL . It is a feast for the eyes as we gazed upon the beautiful handiwork of local crafts people. Lovely tapestries, decorative mirrors, beautiful benches, wall and metal sculptures inspire and bring a smile to your face. Abdiel our sales... More

It was very nice to meet Veronica in Arte de Origen. Beautiful and original store in San Lucas, Los Cabos Mexico. This Store should be an obligated stop when you visit Los Cabos. We are very happy with the piece of art that we bought there. We are going to buy more art from Arte de Origen for sure. Thank... More

They have all kinds of wonderful all handmade Mexican art items. So many things took my breath away. I fell in love with a couple of items but ended up canceling the transaction due to my financial reasons. Veronica, my customer service went above and beyond, followed through even after I was back home in San Diego to make sure... More

Veronica was extremely knowledgeable and fantastic! Explained each piece, but didn't oversell and push. Free shipping to anywhere in the world. We bought a beautiful mirror. Many unique, original and colorful pieces, from handmade tapestries, to boxes, to painted furniture. A real find in the marina area. They even make works to order. Highly recommended.

We purchased a tapestry in March from Arte de Origen that we just love! Carlo Sotelo was very friendly and helpful with us to select the perfect one for us. Arte de Origen is a must see for us each year we visit Cabo. Their pieces of art are unique and original.

Its a truly beautiful gallery, full of vibrant, colorful, and amazing artwork from throughout Mexico. Although we wanted to take one of everything home, Hugo was a tremendous help and wealth of information, so we settled on... More

I bought a "bird" from Veronica and love it. The store was beautiful and I will definitely go there again. Veronica was a great help and I had a good experience in the store. My bird arrived in very good condition 2 days after I arrived back home. They have beautiful artifacts in the store from different artists.

I bought a nice, authentic tapestry/paper collage from Arte de Origen in March. It has been a really nice addition to my entry hallway here in Southern California. Can't beat this store for something authentically Baja California Mexican while in Cabo San Lucas.
