ART GALLERY IN ALAJUELA
Xinia and I visited an art gallery in Alajuela Sr Y Sra Ese Here you can see works of art made of exotic woods, such as jewelry, vases, boxes, and many other gift items. The most famous is the beautiful hand crafted wooden jewelry. The gallery offers a factory tour
arturo solano exotic wooden vase The Root Gallery
which takes around 45 minutes and we learned how these unique works of art are made from 6 different kinds of exotic wood, all grown in Costa Rica. Examples of the wood include Cocobolo-Rosewood and Nazarene-Purple heart
The rich colors of these woods are amazing, ranging from dark browns to deep purples and yellows.
The gift shop is located on the grounds and is open to the public. Displayed here are the hundreds of varieties of objects made from these tropical woods, and the prices are very reasonable.
Our guide explained that this factory employs one hundred and ten people and the wood art work is sold all over Costa Rica and also exported abroad.
Next door is another art gallery called The Root Gallery, a gallery displaying the work of Arturo Solano. From the roots of fallen trees he creates the most beautiful vases in many shapes, sizes, and colors. Mr. Solano’s work has been sold in Brazil, Mexico, and Costa Rica.
The gift shop and gallery Sr Y SRA Ese is open 7 days a week from 8 am to 5:30 pm
and The Root Gallery is open Monday thru Friday from 8 am to 4:30 pm
