About us

Artico was born from a deep love for our roots and a profound respect for the hands that weave history, identity, and hope into every piece. We believe in a world where traditional art is not only admired, but truly valued and protected. That’s why we partner with artisan families from Boyacá, Colombia — sharing their creations with the world with pride and gratitude. Every purchase at Artico is an act of love: for art, for culture, and for the people who keep it alive every day.

Why Boyacá?

Boyacá, a hidden gem in the heart of Colombia, is a land of mountains, living traditions, and skilled hands. In its small towns, art is not just expression — it's the heartbeat of everyday life. The artisan families of this region have passed down their crafts for generations, keeping a cultural legacy alive through weaving, carving, and molding.

We chose to work with Boyacá’s artisans because their creations are real — deeply human and full of meaning. Each piece carries hours of dedication, a love for the land, and a connection to ancestral wisdom. But these traditions also face challenges: invisibility, lack of opportunity, and the struggle to survive in a fast-moving world.

Artico exists to be a bridge — to bring these works of art into the light, to give them the recognition they deserve, and to honor the people who make them. Supporting these families is not charity; it’s justice, it’s gratitude, and it’s a celebration of who we are.
