Golden Artisans, Artists filigree Colombia
"In the early stages of the worker receives the stone business has been reduced to dust, all means .. inclined board a wide range of water pouring over it all the time, then the land area therein, dissolved by the water, run across the plate while that gold has to remain on the board due to their weight. Repeating this a number of times, first to rub it gently and lightly pressing with sponges loose-textured, takes the porous material and earth until all that remains is pure gold dust "
When I saw Aircardus Lopez no work was like 2000 years have passed since Diodorus of Sicily, the Greek historian of the first century BC, described how the ancients extracted egipcians gold from the bowels of the earth. Aircardus tools, a man in his 50 years with tanning and wrinkles of someone used to working under the sun, was as traditional as the Egyptian: a type of wooden box without equal, more than a sieve for larger stones and the only witnesses who were in the 21st century worker were a helmet building that served as a bucket of water and a shovel. There, along the Cauca River within walking distance of Old Bridge from the West, favored figure minutes about their tools and some detained by the storm clouds and the mountains forming the canyon of the river, was a true reminder of the indigenous tradition of paying tribute to their gods through gold.
Of all the Indian tribes in Colombia gold did not settle this part of the Cauca river valley in the mid. Towards south to the valley of the Quimbaya Indians created their beautiful figures by the lost wax process. They molded their figures in beeswax covered with a layer of clay and put everything this in a fire that melted wax of leaving an empty block of clay inside the form ready to pour into the tumbaga, copper and gold alleation as is done today day, perhaps in the form of one of the famous poporos "inspired by nature. To the north of the city of Santa Fe de Antioquia was Urabá indigenous culture which is also natural representations, especially animals raised tail or two-headed birds. However, instructors watermark first, the art of making figures with threads Gold in Santa Fe de Antioquia Indian craftsmen were not gold, but the people of Mompox, where curiously treasured gold was extracted, but at the time that Spanish colony stripped of all the gold they could muster. Over time the citizens of Santa Fe learned watermark often passed from generation to generation Anibal Ramos as he says: "I've been doing this for about 18 years. This is as hereditary. My brother taught me who was himself taught by an uncle. If any of my children has the talent then I'll show you too. "
Filigree is an ancient art practiced by the Greeks and in the fifth century BC after working with gold granulation balls down to make delicate designs in relief.
In Jaime Benitez store, one of the traditional names of Santa Fe last watermark, a craftsman spends a gold bar about 2 ½ Inches Long through a roller machine similar to a spaghetti cutter. The gold bar, a more malleable metal in the world, extends and extends to a point unimaginable when a thread becomes thicker than the artisan passes through albums with different ruby callibers to what was a small gold bar is now a thread as thin as hair. Now begins the real art. With things this thread is here again. Braided for example, gives a beautiful relief. Benitez, meanwhile, is working on a ring for a 'teenager'. Life for the people of Santa Fe is marked as a pendulum for their gold jewelry. The newborn receives a gold bracelet, then comes the first communion, fifteen years in the case of girls, graduation, marriage. In older women of Santa Fe's ears and hands are represented every day their lives special. The reign of traditional designs: the small cloth ball ', that can not be seen anywhere else, everything we do: the small' Rose ', the little' tomatoes, all that comes from antiquity, "says Jaime Benitez.
And the work is meticulous. Gold beads and gold thread tiny rings are handled, and where two figures playing a gold solder joins millimeter parties. Little by little, minute by minute ring takes its final shape. Four hours of work left a blackened ring welding flame. Still ahead is polishing and cleaning. It is not easy work. As Anibal Ramos said when asked if he ever to teach their children the art of filigree, "This is a rather thankless task, the craftsman works too hard and never is to live "
After working six hours of digging and filtering, Aircardus Lopez got his pay day and before rain in the afternoon was a piece of paper with 3 grams of gold dust in a box of matches The King. Not a bad day for him, you will receive 11 000 pesos (about six dollars) for that amount. He did not care that the next day that gold would become a jewel of handmade filigree of value to the owner will be twice what you paid for it.
