Cristobal Gurria
Cristobal Gurria’s love for travel, knowledge, and art has brought him to the heart of Michoacán, where he immerses himself in the rich cultural traditions of the local artisans.

His dedication runs deep—he roughs it daily in Michoacán, very often sleeping on the floors alongside the artisans, forging a close bond as they collaborate to create pieces that carry the essence of the Ananas brand.

Every Journey is a Pilgrimage into the
Heart of the Culture
- Cristobal Gurria -
Travel and a thirst for knowledge unlock the deepest realms of creative expression.
For Cristobal Gurria, each journey is a pilgrimage into the heart of culture, history, and human experience. His time in pilgrimage reveals not just landscapes, but the stories and spirit of the people, woven through generations of
history and artisanship.
In Michoacán, creativity flows through every part of life, where traditions are passed down like family heirlooms.
Cristobal’s passion for knowledge is deeply emotional, rooted in his desire to understand the hands and hearts shaping each piece. He absorbs the artisans’ wisdom—their patience, techniques, and reverence for materials—and channels it into his own work.
Every detail in his art reflects the land’s heritage. His creations are not just pieces of art but tributes to the people and traditions of Michoacán.
Through travel and knowledge, Cristobal’s art becomes a living testament to centuries of history, passion, and beauty.
