Product Description
This primitive, vibrant hand-painted Tigua bowl was created in Ecuador and is signed by George, an artist from the Tigua community, which is internationally known for its distinctive folk art tradition.
Tigua paintings are celebrated for their bold color palettes, flattened perspective, and narrative scenes rooted in Andean village life. This bowl depicts a lively Andean village scene, with stylized figures, homes, cultivated land, and surrounding mountains rendered in expressive detail. The imagery reflects everyday life, community rituals, and cultural pride—central themes in Tigua folk art.
Each bowl is entirely painted by hand, making it a unique, one-of-a-kind piece. The painted surface is sealed with a clear protective finish, and the sculptural form allows the bowl to function beautifully as a decorative object or display piece on a table, shelf, or stand.
This work is an excellent example of Indigenous Ecuadorian folk art and is ideal for collectors of Latin American art or colorful, narrative décor.
