Yandi Monardo, Artista Plástico
In 2017, I received an invitation from the Organizing Committee of Culinary Awards Los Cabos to contribute to this innovative project with the creation of the logo, which at the same time would be used to make a statuette.
From the very first moment, I knew that any recognition to the gastronomy of Los Cabos would have to include the pride and passion that can be created in a kitchen, by the way, it is similar as to an art workshop. And so, the art of gastronomy and sculpture came together.
[two_first]The eyes glimpse the first impression and the sense of taste achieves the wellbeing of both the senses and soul. That emotion invaded me to present a design that could captivate from the beginning.
I designed several proposals for the recognition of the award-winning restaurants and chefs. The design that was chosen symbolizes an upright being with an attitude of pride for who it is and what it means to pamper the guests with each exquisiteness prepared, in addition, of the art that implies presenting a work that satisfies the palate.

Afterwards, the reproduction of the statuette was made. This laborious work was made by the prestigious jewelers of the company Talleres de los Ballesteros, located in Taxco, Guerrero.
