Verónica Cabrera Candelaria

Verónica Cabrera Candelaria, originally from Añasco, Puerto Rico, is the creative mind behind the Hunterhue brand. Since 2017, she has been showcasing her work at the Art Walk in Rincón, an event that has been fundamental to the growth of her brand. She considers the market a safe space and cultural melting pot that has given her the invaluable opportunity to present her work to people from all over the world. This space has been crucial in reaching a global audience, becoming an essential platform to showcase her art.

The Magic of Western Puerto Rico

Verónica feels a deep connection to western Puerto Rico. It’s a place she lovingly describes for its sunsets, coasts, and mountainous landscapes. She fondly remembers the sugarcane fields of her childhood and the scent of molasses and ash that accompanied the harvest. This region is not only her home but also a constant source of inspiration, where the tranquility and closeness of her family play a significant role in her life and work.

The Art and Inspiration Behind Hunterhue

Hunterhue is more than just a jewelry brand; it’s a fusion of art and nature. Verónica seeks a balance between material and form, creating pieces that are sophisticated and unique. Her collections reflect the natural beauty of Puerto Rico’s native woods, with a focus on the multidimensionality that distinguishes Hunterhue.

Veronica’s approach to art is free and varied, working with carved wood sheets, acrylic painting, and chalk pieces. Her themes, centered on connecting with nature, often reflect a nostalgia for the loss of the coasts and unchecked development. Through her art, Verónica expresses her admiration for the island’s tropical flora and her desire for conservation.

Passions Beyond Art

In her free time, Verónica enjoys learning new techniques to incorporate into her work and connecting with nature through sports. Surfing and surfskating are new additions to her life, complementing her yoga and meditation practices, which allow her to maintain both physical and mental balance.

“Conquer Your Hues” – The Motto of Hunterhue

Hunterhue’s slogan, “Conquer your hues,” (conquista tus matices) is a constant reminder for Verónica that energy transforms, it doesn’t disappear. This phrase invites each individual to take control of their energy and shape it into what they truly want it to be, a philosophy reflected in every one of her creations.
