Luis Ruiz Ramirez, master Huichol Bead Artist
Kevin May 23rd, 2010
Luis Ruiz Ramirez from Las Guyabas is one of very few artists that have been able to blend the Huicholes ceremonial art with todays commercial bead art. Every piece is a true prayer to their gods, the paper flowers represent the beauty of nature, the quartz rocks are their ancestors, coins are a monatary sacrifice used as offerings to the gods, deer hair is used for abundance so the Huichol will have food in their homes and the cotton or sheeps wool will bring the clouds that make it rain.

I have made many items out of beads in the last 30 years and I have seen many items made using beads. This is differently a piece of art. God has gifted another.
Thank You & God Bless
