Mr. Acuña creates a wide variety of items. He is an original artist. He works in traditional media, but sometimes uses natural materials that were not readily available to his ancestors, to create totally original pieces, such as the eagle head carved from a wart hog tusk shown below. Every piece is individually crafted and the character of every piece of material is uniquely exploited. There are no two pieces alike, but themes may sometimes be repeated.
