Cipriana García Ajpop

Her favorite aspect of being an artist at Multicolores is embroidering with her daughters. She takes pleasure in weaving her stories into her fabrics. She meticulously selects colors to ensure the perfect combination. This allows her to effectively convey the narratives she wants to share.

Cipriana draws her inspiration from the traditions of her community, such as the local fairs, and also from the customs of other communities throughout Guatemala.

She takes pride in creating her embroideries and combining colors.

“For me, Multicolores is happiness, participation, support and opportunities.”
