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.What is WorldstockThe handcrafted nature of this product will produce minor differences in design and sizing.
