A feline character appears among the glyphs and structures that Teofilo Choquecahua creates for the design of this tapestry. Proud admirer of Peru's past, Choquecahua's composition is clearly influenced by Inca art. He colors alpaca wool yarn with natural and industrial dyes to obtain an intense palette of yellow, blue, red, green, and white hues. Choquecahua weaves the tapestry on a traditional pedal loom with a cotton warp in the legendary Ayacucho style.
Title "Felinos" in Spanish.

I love the colors and the simplicity but symbolic tribal design. Very well done, matches perfectly with a minimalistic yet artistic decorative style. Great buy!
