Colors fall into a dance of geometry incorporated into this woven masterpiece. The Yurivilca Family looks to the past for inspiration, in the artistic traditions of Peru's many cultures. Working on a handloom, they weave strands of wool dyed with natural and artificial dyes, resulting in a tapestry of hypnotic beauty and intense coloring. The Yurivilca call their creation Mishi, which is the Quechua term for "cat."
• About the Artist: In his Peruvian hometown, the name 'Yurivilca' shines brightly, yet it is the name of Don Cesar Yurivilca that truly resonates. He is a pioneer in the field and invented the tapiz relleno. Local weavers now follow his technique to achieve a visual impact similar to that which a painter creates on canvas. "This field gives me great spiritual satisfaction, especially when I teach the new generation. All of my weaves contain traditional aspects of my town and Peruvian culture in general," he says.
