Quíbor and Guadalupe, in Venezuela’s Lara State, are communities where artisanal tradition has been essential to the cultural expression of their region. Recognized as the "Artisanal City of Venezuela," Quíbor is distinguished by its woodwork, while Guadalupe complements this legacy with equally refined techniques. The craftsmanship of these areas blends Indigenous and European influences, perfected in the 20th century by figures like Rudolf Stejskal, who revolutionized carpentry in the region. Techniques such as hand-carving, marquetry, and dovetail joints shape pieces that integrate history and functionality, making craftsmanship a vital art.  

Despite environmental limitations, such as droughts that reduce the availability of local wood, artisans have demonstrated remarkable resilience by incorporating materials from other regions and developing innovative approaches. Their works are not only cultural testimonies but also drivers of economic development for the community. Each creation reflects a deep connection to its environment and the ability to adapt, ensuring this legacy endures and continues to evolve.
