Felipa Aracely Chuc Yax

Her favorite aspect of being an artist at Multicolores is the act of embroidering because through it, she can express her emotions and joys. The combination of colors holds significance; at times, it reflects sorrow, while at other times, it radiates happiness.

She draws inspiration from traditional “Güipiles”, nature, and the agricultural harvest within her community.

Aracely takes pride in having achieved personal goals, and this achievement is largely attributed to her income from embroidery.

“Multicolores, to me, represents support for women, offering an opportunity to create embroidered pieces and earn an income.”
