animal wall art

Guatemalan tradition believes that these little worry dolls can help you in times of trouble if you tell them your problems and place them under your pillow. Handcrafted by the Lopez Garcia Family using cotton, nylon and tule fibers, these three ornaments come with classic textiles of the region and little ceramic animals for a sweet touch. On top of that, each accessory features a string for hanging anywhere.

Ayacucho's nights are full of natural beauty and color in Zosimo Laura's depiction of the region's stunning views. The Peruvian artisan uses traditional handloom techniques to create this wool and cotton tapestry in an elegant black base hue, which enhances the vibrant owls arranged around the design, creating a mystic ambiance with their wise aura.

The artwork is titled Noche de Buhos in Spanish.

Imagination and creativity are words often associated with fish as they feature unique and wonderful appearances. Finding inspiration in these sweet marine inhabitants, Ghana's K. Baka creates a cotton wall hanging in yellow and black hues, enhancing every little detail.

Pride and elegance are words often associated with giraffes, those elegant creatures that wander the Savanna. Finding inspiration in these graceful giants, Ghana's K. Baka creates a cotton wall hanging in a colorful palette, making a unique piece of art perfect for any ambiance.

A multicolor palette of vibrant tones embellishes Peruvian master artist Teofilo Choquecahua's newest tapestry, created for the World Peace Project.

"This tapestry is a message of world peace from my Andean worldview," explains the artisan. "On a daily basis, man has experiences without empathy with his neighbor, because of the lack of honesty between each one of the individuals. It is for this reason that my tapestry is designed to reflect that if we cultivate honesty, we will all be loyal and without any violence. Like the doves that travel the face of the earth in peace, where there is understanding and trust in each other, there is no indifference or guilt for not being fair."

This handloomed tapestry is crafted with an alpaca, cotton, wool and polyester blend. Drawing inspiration from doves, and determined to spread a message of peace and honesty, Teofilo designed an intricate pattern of traditional regional motifs.
