Tito Medina

Mountains of Memory Gourd

$90.00

Layer upon layer of delicate imagery unfolds across Mountains of Memory Gourd, a richly detailed piece by Tito Medina that feels like a carved journal of Andean village life. Its teardrop shape serves as the perfect frame for a dynamic tapestry of homes, mountains, animals, and cultural motifs, all interwoven with remarkable symmetry. Along the top, a band of flowers, stars, and winding patterns evokes the celestial harmony above the earthly bustle below.
The lower section features an intricate medallion—a scene within a scene—anchoring the composition with symbolic depth. The black etched lines, set against the warm ochre background, deliver a striking visual rhythm, while the gourd’s slightly elongated form gives it strong sculptural presence. This is a collector’s piece that invites close inspection and rewards repeated viewing.
