Sacred Mountainscape

Etched with reverence and extraordinary detail, Sacred Mountainscape by Tito Medina reflects a profound connection between the Andean people and their spiritual environment. At the heart of the piece is a jagged mountain ridge — likely referencing the Andes — separating the sky from the earth. Above the peaks, birds, celestial animals, and ancestral figures drift in the heavens, suggesting a cosmological world beyond the visible.
Beneath this sacred line, a rich tapestry of life unfolds: musicians playing pan flutes, figures farming and harvesting, children playing, animals resting near homes, and ceremonial dancers moving through community spaces. Each tiny carving feels purposeful, carrying forward a tradition of oral and visual storytelling through natural materials.
