Ecuador is a country rich in culture. For one, its churches and monasteries reveal both Indian and Spanish persuasion while contemporary art displays social and cultural values and traditions. As such, it is not a surprise that Ecuadorian art prints try to convey this diversity of influences.
It is often mentioned that Ecuador art prints are like Indian paintings.
This is really not surprising because Tigua, Ecuador, which is very popular for its paintings, is where the Indian community lives and thrives.
It is always invigorating to learn of Indian ways and how they start and preserve their art.
For the Quechua Indians living in Tigua, Ecuador, most of their paintings are maintained on sheepskin.
These artworks depict how they go about their daily lives and the landscape that surrounds them. Other popular art themes are of festivals such as the Corpus Christi and Shamanic rituals.
Truly, this is a case of art imitating life.
