SALTAMONTES IS A TRIBUTE TO ART & TRADITION, ITPRESENTS WORKS BY TALENTED ARTISTS WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES
A Saltamontes (grasshopper in Spanish) is a worldwide symbol of good luck and prosperity. It is capable of understanding sound vibrations, connecting with its inner self and others.
Grasshoppers encourage us to leap forward and focus on our personal strengths. At Saltamontes, we live by these premises, to enrich ourselves, our environment and communities.
The original idea for Saltamontes comes from the combination of the artistic and aesthetic interests of its founder, Daniela Macias. It combines Japanese craftsmanship, eco-consciousness, simplicity and the power of expressive art. Daniela is a
committed supporter of important social impact causes and projects.
