Antonio Lapierre

Hey there! I'm a passionate artist, crafting everything from giant puppets to paintings, sculptures, and life-sized dolls. My style is all about capturing the essence of celebs through larger-than-life puppets and dolls, bringing them to life with meticulously crafted faces, clothes, and hair.

My art journey kicks off in a pretty wild childhood - no folks around, just me, exploring textures and colors in all kinds of places. I broke and built stuff from the trash, my curiosity beating anything I'd ever known. School noticed my flair early on, especially when I blew minds with this insane puppet I built. That led me to workshops in carpentry and metal structures at 13, and later to a frame shop, where my love for art just exploded.

Expanding my horizons, I dove into high-end fashion design and later apprenticed as a jeweler. Under the wing of the talented jeweler Roger Lapierre at the now-gone Montecristo Jewelry in Puerto Paraíso, Cabo San Lucas, I honed my skills.

Post-marriage, my creative juices flowed into crafting eye-catching shapes in papier-mâché, selling them for eleven years. Four years ago, I decided to go all-in, creating art and shows showcased at fancy weddings and events. You'll find my creations gracing the walls of American buyers' homes and restaurants, and stealing the show at the grandest weddings in Los Cabos.

My art, deeply rooted in Mexican culture, grew intuitively and through hands-on experience. I'm not just creating visual wonders; I'm spinning tales through mojigangas and other art forms. Each piece reflects the journey of these curious hands, heavily influenced by my mentor Roger Lapierre, whose teachings linger in my art, giving it that touch of originality and authenticity. Cheers to a life painted with the vibrant hues of creativity!
