vibrant tapestry

Deborcio Choquecahua of Peru designs and hand crafts this vibrant tapestry made from an alpaca wool blend. Featuring three fish of deep red and golden-brown tumbling through olive green water, the artist says his inspiration is "to show the beauty of nature and the richness of the sea." The tapestry is accented by two rows of fringe.

Peruvian artisan David Laura Zanabria crafts this wonderful alpaca blend tapestry on a traditional loom. The colorful tapestry features a staircase motif combined with abstract faces. Bold colors make it a vibrant accent to home decor.

Surrealist elements recreate the traditional ceremonies held in the Andes, once the home of the ancient Inca Empire.

Rosa Pariona illustrates this fantastic scene in an alpaca blend tapestry handloomed with traditional techniques, displaying a gorgeous geometric pattern in vibrant green hues.

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.

Mama Killa, the Moon in the Inca tradition, has a unique connection with the Ñusta, the princess of the Empire, inspiring an exquisite tapestry that illustrates the bond between the Hanan Pacha or divine world and the Hurin Pacha or underworld. Peruvian artisan Rosa Pariona uses vibrant hues and alpaca blend yarns to craft this homage to Peru's heritage, symbolizing the connection between worlds with a colorful braid.
