A land of magical realism, where the past is alive and every object tells a story. Founded in 2025 by Carlos Martínez and Maria Eugenia Serdán, Alkimista carries Mexico’s cultural heritage into rooms, collections and rituals around the world.
About us
Alkimista comes from al-kīmiyāʾ, the Arabic word for alchemy. For us it means transformation: raw material, inherited technique and living ritual becoming objects with presence.
We work with Mexican artisans and object families that carry place, patience and handwork. The first collection brings Oaxaca, Michoacán and contemporary craft language into a gallery context in Dubai.
The page is built as a preview before the shop goes live: a collector waitlist, a catalogue archive and a moving record of the makers behind the pieces.
Launch catalogue
A dedicated horizontal archive for the first pages, object references and collection language. Swipe through the sheets as pages, not thumbnails.
Live artisan in exhibition
Process, gesture and material are part of the exhibition. Visitors do not only see finished pieces. They see the hand, pressure, rhythm and patience that make the object possible.
The collection moves between sculptural objects, vessels, masks and ceremonial forms. Each piece is selected for its material intelligence, its maker and the atmosphere it can hold in a room.
