Product Description
This vibrant hand-painted Tigua bowl was created in Ecuador by Juan Luis Cuyo, a respected artist from the Tigua community, internationally known for its distinctive folk art tradition. Tigua paintings are celebrated for their bold colors, flattened perspective, and detailed storytelling rooted in Andean village life.
The scene depicts a lively Andean village celebration, with musicians, dancers, and townspeople gathered among colorful houses set against rolling hills, grazing sheep, and a snow-capped mountain in the distance. The imagery reflects everyday life, community rituals, and cultural pride—central themes in Tigua art.
Each bowl is entirely painted by hand, making this a one-of-a-kind piece. The painted surface is protected with a clear finish, and the bowl’s form allows it to function as both a decorative object and a sculptural artwork. It can be displayed on a tabletop, shelf, or wall stand.
This piece is an excellent example of contemporary Indigenous Ecuadorian folk art and is well suited for collectors of Latin American art or colorful, narrative decor.
