The Carbajales chose nature as their subject and their sculptures blend a traditional South American Style with a surrealist flair. The name Artesania Rinconada is a Spanish phrase meaning "Art of the corner” or "Corner art” and was chosen because the brothers worked out of a small corner of their living room for many years.

In recent years Rinconada has evolved under a new factory director with exciting new creativity and artistic vision. As a young man in Montevideo, Uruguay Jorge De Rosa apprenticed in the field of hand-crafted ceramics. He studied all aspects of ceramic design and artistic development under the guidance of his father, Jorge De Rosa Thompson, who co-founded Artesania Rinconada S.R.L. along with Jesus and Javier Carbajales in the early 1970’s.  Jorge became the Director of the Rinconada factory on January 1, 1996 and has collaborated with Jesus and Javier in implementing creative new techniques to Rinconada design. 

Rinconada is a popular collectable and great gift idea for any age or gender.  Great as a mens gift or womens gift Rinconada stands the test of time with it's timeless elegance and with new pieces released regularly there is always another figurine to add to your collection.
