Village Pulse Gourd

Compact yet visually powerful, Village Pulse Gourd by Tito Medina encapsulates the essence of Andean life through meticulous hand-etching. The surface of the natural gourd becomes a canvas for storytelling—dotted rooftops, winding streets, and floral constellations come together in rhythmic harmony. Intricate linework and symmetrical borders create a sense of movement that guides the eye around the gourd’s round, organic form. The rich contrast between the dark etching and warm ochre background enhances its tactile quality, making the piece as engaging to hold as it is to view.
What makes this gourd exceptional is its immersive detailing—Medina’s steady hand and years of mastery are evident in every deliberate mark. It’s not just decoration; it’s narrative carved into nature, scaled down to fit in your palm.
