I'm Erika Valencia
"Express myself with my hands is as vital as the simple act of breath."
Erika V.
Art and design are not a coincidence in my life.
My ancestral heritage is full of values, shapes, principles and colors that have made art run through my veins.
Welcome to this space where you will know my style and essence through each one of my creations
"The expression of universal ethnic values has been
and will be my permanent DNA."
I am a graduated on Publicity for the Colombian College of Design in Medellín, Colombia. Since more than 15 years I have been dedicated to the creation, design and trade of hand made jewelry.
I was the founder and creative of the brand "Primavera Accesorios" where each design had the artisan stamp made by Colombian weavers. When the time goes by, the brand changed its name, becoming the Verachäang, without losing the essence and meaning that has always characterized me in everything I do.
Now totally renewed my own brand Erika Valencia is born, where I give all the freedom to my soul express their creative impulses, and also I mix ancestral knowledge with current designs embodied in unique handmade jewerly and accessories.
An amalgam of knowledge that expresses my free and authentic soul.
Each one of my creations represents a part of me, of my authenticity. I feel genuine pride in creating and seeing how these pieces, made 100% in Colombia, become timeless treasures.
I truly believe that teamwork is the basis for all ideas to be materialized. That is why I have created a wonderful and authentic group of collaborators: artists, designers, weavers and embroiderers, who are mostly mothers, heads of families and who are as passionate about creativity as I am.
I support and defend the talent of artists and artisans, people who live off their hands talent, who weave and express their knowledge with ancient techniques.
