“My name is Ileana Umaña. I am totally in love with the beauty that you can transmit into a piece of jewelry. In the year 2010, I began learning about glass as a form of art.

“First, I learned how to make stained glass. I was forcing myself to learn this art for a whole year until a teacher taught me how to work with molten glass, a material that allows you to combine different forms and colors. It captivated me from the very first moment. I decided to follow this technique right away, which gave me the opportunity to create a limitless number of pieces. I was inspired by the versatility of it, as well as the infinite possibilities of using color in a material as noble as glass.

“All of this began as a simple hobby, but, thanks to God, it transformed into my passion. Today, it is a full-time occupation that I love, and it allows my family to have a fixed income, but above all else, it is an art form that allows me to express my feelings.

“My inspiration comes from the environment that surrounds me; it comes from living in a marvelous country with an immense variety of color, diversity of flora and fauna, mountains, oceans, volcanoes, and sunsets that never cease to impress.

“My objective is to reflect a unique beauty in each piece, focused entirely on highlighting the beauty of the woman who searches for something natural and unique. I am totally grateful for each blessing and opportunity received, and I always seek to give the best part of myself. I am always learning, and in this way, I will always be able to give my clients quality work.”

NOVICA was started with a dream to create a better world for artisans, because a better world for artisans is a better world for all.

Along the way, the founders of NOVICA discovered something very important - as artisans around the world succeeded, there was also a visible and profound impact on the communities around them.

Your purchases are that powerful. They directly and indirectly provide for education, help with health care, fund basic needs, support children, preserve disappearing arts, and of course, spread happiness around the world.

The founders of NOVICA had a vision of the future that is not one of mega factories producing cookie cutter products for all to cheaply consume. Instead, a bright future that celebrates artisans who take the time to create an item by hand. A future where time is protected, where stories are told, where unique details are honored. Love, respect, inclusiveness become driving force.
