Ceramic sculpture, 'Legends'

Pre-Hispanic iconographies conjure the presence of Andean civilizations in a ceramic sculpture by Toribio Huaraca. He finds inspiration in the cultures from Cajamarca, who developed the three-legged vessel style. Huaraca works with watercolors to replicate the colors preferred by the Cajamarca people, red and black, to paint anthropomorphic images amid vibrant patterns.

Toribio Huaraca

Toribio Huaraca GutiƩrrez was born April 12, 1963 in Ayacucho. From the time he was very small he liked art, and this grew into a desire to create beautiful things. Thus he decided to become an artisan.

An independent ceramist since 1990, Huaraca finds that time and patience are necessary to craft a superior work of art. He has plenty of both. Speaking quietly, he nonetheless conveys his own excitement about the creative process and his works. Crafted with love and dedication, each piece carries a bit of the artisan's own personality as he strives to convey the traditions of the Andes.

"My greatest challenge has been simply getting ahead in life, as I was orphaned at 16. I took on the role of mother and father with my younger brothers and sisters," he confides with quiet pride. "I am enormously grateful for the opportunity to share my work with you."
