Sissi Bernal
"My full name is Sissi Bernal Naupa and I was born on May 20, 1978. My art is my family heritage, for my father has been a jewelry designer since he was 18 years old. I have a sister and a brother and they, too, have followed in my dad's footsteps.<br><br>"My father taught me the same way his father taught him. I began by helping him, especially when he had big orders to fill. I remember how, on one occasion, my dad sat us down and began to teach us. At first I was somewhat reluctant, but soon I understood the art of this craft and that I was enjoying it. I liked the fact that I could design my own pieces, and that I could create a completely new design by changing just one little thing. I decided I wanted to create original, high quality jewelry that would make my father proud.<br><br>"We are all silversmiths, each specializing in one aspect. My father is the head; my siblings and I are the alloy.<br><br>"Every design I make motivates me to keep on going, because I really like it. I love creating new things. I enjoy transforming the metal and, through this art, I express the concepts of quality and perfection.<br><br>"I've exhibited my designs on several occasions, proud of the admiring remarks from customers and seeing them wearing my creations.<br><br>"I'd like to thank all of you for this opportunity, and I hope you'll venture into wearing my designs, which are crafted by hand. Thank you for the opportunity of showing you the quality and beauty of our Peruvian jewelries."
