Tito Medina

Cosmos and Culture

$180.00

In Cosmos and Culture, Tito Medina transforms a natural gourd into a rich visual narrative that bridges the earthly and the celestial. This piece is entirely hand-etched, covered with layers of symbolic imagery — from birds and stars in the upper heavens to villages, rituals, and agricultural life below. The flowing composition forms a seamless continuum of human and spiritual connection.
Every inch of the surface is carved with astonishing precision, creating a densely populated story world. What appears decorative at first glance quickly becomes a portal into Andean cosmology and memory — a lived archive of community, belief, and rhythm.
