The son of artisans who crafted hats from alpaca wool, Apolonio Alejandro Roque was born on February 25. The family moved to the capital when he was eight, and his older brother found work painting glass, a craft he taught Apolonio when the younger of the siblings was only ten. Over the years, Apolonio decided that art was his destiny, and he entered the prestigious School of Fine Arts to improve his technique and learn more about his chosen field – colonial art.
At the age of 20, Roque opened his own studio where he paints colonial images on products that range from coasters to six-foot tall mirrors. He married his wife Elena when he was 27 and they have two sons.
The quality of his art and his years of experience have led him to design beautiful works, prized by connoisseurs all over the world. He feels happy when working and the hours slip away unnoticed, as he becomes absorbed in colors and forms. "I've never thought of doing anything else, not even when things were very bad," he confides. "Elena and I have always come through together."

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.
