Hello, welcome to Candelaria’s Art, located in wonderful Santa Fe, New Mexico. My name is Gilbert Candelaria, I’m an artist who found Magic in creating art from found objects,junk and trash.  I love the challenge of creating art out of something someone would consider trash or junk. All of the art is created one-at-a-time and once the piece is sold a new adventure begins in search of another blank canvas.(I love garage sales, swap meets and large trash bins!)
I do accept custom orders, it’s cool when a client comes up with their own unique idea.In many cases customers have brought me their treasured appliance or object for a custom order.
Check the “Blog” section for information about upcoming events, new work and interesting news. If you have any other questions or comments feel free to leave a blog comment or contact me.
In short, I hope my found art inspires your imagination and know you will never see a mundane object the same way again.  Enjoy the art!
