Yesenia Prieto is the third generation piñata maker and visionary behind LA Piñata Design Studio. She began piñata making in South Los Angeles as a small time trade and quickly harnessed her artistic skill and entrepreneurial spirit to manage larger than life installation projects for companies and museums such as LACMA, Microsoft, Google, and even celebrities such as international pop star Rihanna.
She and her brother Josue Prieto are trying to revolutionize the art and craft of piñata-making by embracing change. Apart from introducing movable piñata limbs, Prieto has also experimented with adding developing talking piñatas that “speak” as they are pummeled.
She speaks to Radio Aula Mundi from the backyard of her studio which has opened only a few weeks ago, and which she shares with her brother Josue, her assistant Mia Baez and fellow artist J. Salvador.
