Corazon Amoroso

Master artisan José Luz has been creating art out of tin for over fifty years. In the four minute video below I follow José Luz while he works on a new piece.

The resulting piece emerges from many hours of design time, a day and a half in his studio cutting, stamping, pushing and re-working the tin. The result is a piece of texture and softness, a piece of beauty inspired by his love of art, metal and working with his hands, inspired by his deep religious faith.

He calls this piece corazon amoroso de Jesus sacramento.
