History
Israel and Omar Hernández García
Art with an automobile soul and a human spirit
This vision has accompanied the Hernand brothers since childhood, leading them to explore new forms at the intersection of the automobile, sculpture, and painting.

A message for the future
Eternal Balance
With the aim of leaving a message for future civilizations, they created "The Hieroglyph of the Future”—a work that symbolizes our era, crafted in gold and carbon fiber; the message is as follows:
" For a living being to transcend, it must maintain a balance in its existence."
A new art style is born:
Crystalism
Inspired by engineering, precision, and automotive construction.
Sixteen micro-layers create a three-dimensional effect.
A dream fulfilled.
They built a -recreation of a Ferrari-
An exploit that took them 11 years
Scale replicas of automobiles for racing drivers and companies
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.
Real car
Scale replica
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.
A constant pursuit of innovation in art
“Within inspiration, there are infinite possibilities to discover”
Israel and Omar Hernández García
They designed four exclusive techniques that allow carbon fiber to be sculpted
1.- Technique: -Relief carbono-
Developed specifically to achieve high relief in carbon fiber within reduced spaces, preserving the integrity of the weave.
This breakthrough led to the world’s first high -relief carbon- fiber artwork.
They are currently working on the development of the following sculptures.
2.- Technique: Carbon fiber plated in gold
Painting of the next sculpture to be made, using this technique
3.- Technique: Parchment Carbono
Painting of the next sculpture to be made, using this technique
4.- Technique: Composite carbon block
Painting of the next sculpture to be made, using this technique
Five years of experimentation to achieve these techniques
Contributions of the Hernand brothers.
Despite not having attended university, the Hernand brothers' contributions encompass a new artistic style, two patents, a sculptural method for creating scale sculptures, the recreation of a Ferrari, and the first high-relief artwork made of carbon fiber. They are currently among the world's leading innovators in carbon fiber sculptural techniques, having developed four methods for working with this material.
The Hernand brothers have the qualities of polymath artists, where self-learning and experimentation have been fundamental across three main fields: art, science, and literature—integrating knowledge from diverse disciplines to develop new concepts.
Their works have reached various personalities and organizations, including former President of Mexico Vicente Fox Quesada, the team of racing driver Adrián Fernández, the exotic car agency Premium Cars, the company Telmex, and the team of racing driver Luis Díaz.
They have also been invited to exhibit their work in universities, museums, and exhibition centers, including Tecnológico de Monterrey, Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara, Museo Trompo Mágico, and Expo Guadalajara Convention Center.
Construction process of the work:
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.
Developing the sculptural plans for the bodywork posed a challenge, as 1 mm error would result in a 1.8 cm misalignment in the final vehicle.
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 resources.
They had two options: leave it as it was or invest several more years of work to achieve an optimal result.
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.
After eleven years of dedication, they finally achieved their goal: to build all the processes by hand, of -an recreation of a sports car-
Engine:
Rear turbo
Equipment: air conditioning, remote opening, of the hood, trunk and doors, seats with adjustable air chambers, digital dashboard.
Work hours: 16,300

His first patent
Car wash
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
4. Application of automotive paint
5. Assembly of all parts
6. finished scale car
Classical painting and poetry
-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 amazement,
that changes every second.
Israel and Omar Hernández García
Car designs during their adolescence
Since their childhood, they began experimenting in various disciplines.
And their passion for cars drove them to develop artistic skills.
Lamborghini Calá
These cars, made of plasticine, had moving parts like the gear lever; and even the tachometers glowed in the dark.
Since the age of four, they were already making cars out of modeling clay.

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.
