Enrique Vega, designer craftsman
The majority of Enrique Vega’s work is commissions, received primarily through Internet connections. His main community is now online where he shares his knowledge with several hundred members of an online art metal network. Influenced by Antonio Gaudi and Art Nouveau, he is especially drawn to the curvilinear potential of metal.

“I am the founder of artmetal.com and the art metal project. It started in 1994. It’s a great online worldwide community. My main community is online. I share my knowledge and my work with several hundred members. On my site there are many documentaries on projects that I’ve done. It used to be very hard to find info on blacksmithing so I do this to help make it easier for people to find information. If the project has lots of techniques then I photograph it to share online for other metalworkers.”
