Israel and Omar Hernández García.
In their childhood, the Hernand brothers modeled cars out of plasticine; today, they are recognized as leading innovators in carbon fiber sculpture in the world.

“The Hieroglyph of the Future.”
In order to leave a message for future civilizations, they created a work called "Eternal Balance" that symbolizes our era and conveys the following message:
" For a living being to transcend, it must maintain a balance in its existence."
"They created a new style of art: “Crystalism.”
They built a recreation of a Ferrari.
An exploit that took them 11 years.
They designed four exclusive techniques that allow carbon fiber to be sculpted with fine finishes.
Technique: Relief carbono.
Specially designed to mold carbon fiber in confined spaces, while preserving the union of the weave.
This breakthrough gave rise to the world’s first high-relief carbon fiber artwork, which maintains the integrity of the weave.
Technique: Carbon fiber plated in gold.
Painting of the next sculpture to be made, using this technique.
Technique: Parchment Carbono.
Painting of the next sculpture to be made, using this technique.
Technique: Composite carbon block.
Painting of the next sculpture to be made, using this technique.
Five years of experimentation to achieve these contributions.
Luis Díaz gave a work of art to the then president of Mexico, Vicente Fox.
The Telmex company owned by Mr. Carlos Slim.
He commissioned several works of art to honor his company members. Talent and commitment were recognized at the event.
Two great international car pilots: Adrian Fernandez and Luis Diaz.
They requested several pieces of artwork to give to their sponsors and team members, as a lasting reminder of appreciation and gratitude.
The inauguration of the first exotic car agency in Mexico.
The Premium Cars agency brought together luxury and exclusivity. With a wide selection of the most collected cars, accompanied by a work of art that harmonized the occasion.
“Within inspiration, there are infinite possibilities to discover”
Israel and Omar Hernández García.
The Hernand brothers have made a significant mark in various fields, despite not having pursued university studies. Their contributions include an artistic style, two patents, a method for enlarging sculptures, the recreation of a Ferrari, the creation of the world’s first high-relief carbon fiber artwork, and four techniques for crafting carbon fiber sculptures, making them the leading innovators in sculpture with this material worldwide.
Israel and Omar possess the qualities of “polymath” artists, where self-learning and experimentation are key in three main fields: art, science, and literature, combining what they have learned to create new concepts.
“Thanks to the people who believe in us and are part of our vision and achievements, we have received invitations to exhibit at prestigious universities in Mexico, allowing us to leave a legacy full of motivation for future generations”
Israel and Omar Hernández García.
Living poem.
The beauty of women,
which no painter
will achieve with his brush,
only the hand of the creator
can make
that smile
that motivates to convert
our world
in deep amazement,
which changes every second.
Israel and Omar Hernández García.
Construction process of the work:
The car of my dreams.
Recreation of a Ferrari Modena 360.
We can appreciate how art and science combine, creating a unique blend of creativity, perseverance and technical experience.
Since they were 4 years old, the brothers dreamed of making a normal-sized sports car. When they turned 14, they set the goal of building it only between the two of them and by hand.
Despite their efforts for four years, they achieved no results. At age 18 they decided not to attend university to try again, even though they had few financial resources and limited knowledge.
It was a challenge to create the sculptural plans for the bodywork, as any 1 mm error would result in a misalignment of 1.8 cm in the actual car.
At that time, such information was not available on the internet; in fact, smartphones had not yet been released for sale.
To address this, they devised a handmade mathematical process they named the "Guiding Method," which enabled them to create scale models with precision.
If we compare the two previous images, we can appreciate the efficiency of the method they developed and its high precision in the final result.
The handmade procedure the brothers devised has a similar principle to the more modern ones, with the difference that current methods use multiple lasers. This principle is known as 'Three-Dimensional Digitization.'
First stage of the work, in which symmetry and proportion are guaranteed.
1. Life-size sculpture templates.
2. Application of paste to detail the sculpture. A year was dedicated to this stage.
3. Sanding to smooth the surface.
4. Obtaining the molds.
5. Drilling the disc brakes.
6. Handmade manufacturing process of taillights.
7. Manufacturing of molds for the crystals.
8. Interior upholstery.
9. Painting for the center of the board.
10. Final stage: polishing.
After four years of work, the car was completed, but they were not satisfied with the basic mechanics they had installed as the power did not match the design. This was caused by a lack of financial resources.
They had two options: leave it as it was or invest several more years of work to achieve an optimal result.
They decided to completely disassemble it and replace all the mechanics with a more powerful system, restoring the involved processes.
Instead of getting discouraged, the brothers remained steadfast in their initial commitment to build it solely between the two of them. They dedicated seven more years of work, handling all the processes themselves. They wanted to prove to themselves that achieving such a feat was possible.
Eleven years after starting their goal, they finally achieved it. This is the only car built between two people in automotive history.
Engine:
Rear turbo.
Equipment: air conditioning, inflatable seats, remote opening of the hood, trunk and doors, digital dashboard.
Work hours: 16,300.
2000 - 2011.
His first patent.
Mobile car wash.
Each patent is a testament to the dedication, talent and creativity of the human spirit to bring new ideas to life.
The knowledge they have gained through their artworks is summarized in the following phrases:
“We have learned that the human mind has access to a creative universe, where all the knowledge and solutions necessary to achieve our desires are housed. As human beings, we have been privileged with the ability to harness these richnesses and turn them into a force that propels us towards evolution.”
Israel and Omar Hernández García.
How is a work of art made to scale?
1. Clay modeling.
2. assembly tests.
3. The pilot's helmet is detailed.
4. Application of automotive paint.
5. Assembly of all parts.
6. finished scale car.
The initial designs emerged from their inspiration.
Since their childhood, they began experimenting in various disciplines.
And their passion for cars drove them to develop artistic skills.
Lamborghini Calá.
Their first clients were their middle school classmates, who requested scale model cars made of playdough. These models included movable parts such as the gear shift, steering wheel, and even the dashboard indicators that glow in the dark.
Since the age of four, they were already making cars out of modeling clay.
Their lives have been characterized by setting increasingly higher goals.

This verse describes the motivation that drives them to explore new forms of art:
The inspiration is an
inexhaustible energy,
that steers the course of art,
where you can only imagine
that time is a substance,
taking constant form
in the essential source of art
and is conveyed
with a language universal
vibrant.
Israel and Omar Hernández García.
