The studio primarily works with natural fibers, while also exploring volcanic stone, marble, wood, and leather. Their approach is grounded in patience and a deep respect for manual processes, where time becomes a material in its own right. A defining moment in their journey occurred when one of their objects, the BECAL Cero Fan, was spontaneously adopted by other workshops in the village of Becal. Now sold alongside traditional productions, sometimes without reference to its origin, the object has become a cultural product embedded in local life. Rather than viewing this as a loss, Salvador sees it as an organic phenomenon, revealing how culture circulates, transforms, and is naturally reappropriated. Shaped by pre-Columbian art and the collections of the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City, their visual universe also engages with modernist figures such as Vicente Rojo and Carlos Mérida, alongside influences from the American Southwest, from Georgia O’Keeffe to a form of mineral surrealism.
