ABOUT THE ARTIST
"It's important to me to be at the Pueblo, because the creative spirit is easier to capture if you live and work within the village, neighbor to neighbor, house to house."
—Charles Lovato, Santo Domingo artist
Charles Lovato (1937-1987) revolutionized Santo Domingo beadwork. By arranging strands of beads with slight variations in color, he created necklaces that gradually shift from one color to another. Lovato also departed from tradition by adding bright splashes of gold, purple (sugilite), red (coral) and blue (lapis lazuli) as well as the traditional olivella shell.
Lovato's technique was unmatched; he could create heishi beads so fine that his necklaces were likened to strands of silk. To string his tiniest beads, he explained, "I take a nylon strand and split it into four to string beads on."
Also one of Santo Domingo's most highly regarded painters, Lovato was a multitalented artist who often paired his paintings with original poems. "I resent wasting time sleeping," Lovato once said. "I feel as though I am always near the boiling point, needing to release something."
