A ray of white light centres this radiant tapestry by Efrain Curi. Gradually shading toward warm golds and ochres, it is meticulously created on the Andean handloom. Curi uses the kilim, or "slit" technique. The different yarns are not dovetailed or interlocked, but each colour field is woven independently of the other and their vertical edges are open. This technique is widely seen on medieval and Renaissance tapestries.
Titled "Rompecabezas" in Spanish.

Love this colorful, vibrant tapestry, which gives warmth to a stark white door and gray-painted apartment. Adds much cheer to my space, and has held up well over the years!

When I saw this tapestry on the Novica website I thought it looked amazing, and wanted to add it to my beautiful collection of Peruvian artwork. It reminded me of our trip to Peru back in 2010 when I bought lots of hand woven pieces. The Eden in the Andes is magnificent and is more beautiful than the picture depicts. Efrain you are very talented, thank you for sharing your creative skills with the world and me.
