Earth & Harvest Gourd

$90.00

A celebration of agrarian life rendered in fine pyrographic detail, Earth & Harvest Gourd by Tito Medina is a testament to the deep connection between Andean people and the land they cultivate. Encircling the widest part of the gourd is a vibrant farming scene: oxen, corn, woven baskets, adobe huts, and figures tending the earth are brought to life with bold, precise strokes. Above this visual story, a decorative crown of interlacing patterns and stylized floral motifs adds rhythm and balance.
The spherical shape of the gourd gives the scene a seamless flow, as though the landscape loops in a continuous cycle of labor and abundance. The contrast between the dark etching and golden tones of the gourd brings each symbol to the forefront, while the preserved stem subtly marks its natural origin This piece stands out for its compositional clarity and cultural richness.
