Background
As a young boy from a village in Guerrero, he was taught the technique of macrame by his father. As he never had the opportunity to go to University, he has relied on his ability to make beautiful crafted pieces in order for him and his family to make a living.
The Village
Unfortunately, Saul's village has 11,000 people with no running water. Weekly, tanks of water are brought to the village and rationed out for the families to use sparingly.
Role Model
Saul takes great pride in his work ethic and aims at being a role model to the people in his town not only by providing work but by showing them that hard work gives you a purpose and a better life. His Mexican roots, his family and his craft are what identifies him. A true family man, a righteous artist, this is Saul.
