Meliton Zeferino Acevedo
I am from Temalacatzingo, a small municipality of Olinala, Guerrero.
I started to work in the making of lacquer maque artesanias at the age of 13 years old.
I participated in the contest Great Nacimiento Award and my creation was awarded 2nd place in the 2016 contest of Temalacatzingo, Guerrero.
I have been awarded 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places in various occasions.
