Tito Medina

Nazca Memory

$80.00

With one elegant stroke, Nazca Memory pays homage to Peru’s ancient cultural lineage. Prominently featured at the top of the gourd is the iconic Nazca monkey — its coiled tail and abstract form sharply outlined against a densely etched background of floral and cosmic patterns. This deliberate contrast draws the eye immediately to the Nazca Line figure, grounding the piece in pre-Columbian symbolism.
Below the dividing ridge, a rich tapestry of village life unfolds — people tending the land, playing music, and engaging in ceremony, all set within a mountainous valley. At the base, a stylized doorway or ceremonial gateway appears, inviting the viewer to consider the spiritual thresholds that connect past and present, earth and sky.
This piece speaks not only through its exquisite craftsmanship but also through the layers of history it holds.
