ARTIST PROFILE
Arturo Sosa
from Mexico
Arturo Sosa Perez was born in Oaxaca City, Mexico,
and began to create tinwork in his father's workshop
at the age of 13. Sosa Perez has been a pioneer in the
elaboration of both flat and three-dimensional figures
over a 40-year career, and his designs are now widely
known and imitated. He uses only the highest quality
tin and creates forms and repousees.
In his painted work, he uses auto lacquers diluted
with acrylic thinner, a technique he developed unique to his work.
