Scene of the Andes

Scene by scene, Natural Gourd #2 by Tito Medina unveils an intimate look at Andean rural life. The etched surface captures a moment of human interaction in a mountain village: figures walking beside animals, exchanging goods, tending homes, and working the land — all rendered with meticulous linework and symbolic rhythm. Above them, a band of geometric motifs crowns the gourd like a woven textile, framing the narrative with elegance.
The dense imagery and circular form create a sense of timelessness — a living panorama that reflects the harmony between people and their natural surroundings. This piece is not just decorative; it’s a visual echo of daily life and cultural continuity in the Peruvian highlands.
