Details

Strong diagonal line echoes the rugged mountains ranges that stretch toward infinity. In the foreground, people and houses mingle with fragmented fields and pre-Hispanic motifs. "In this tapestry, I depict many of my own feelings," Raul Ulloa Baylón confides. "I explore the longing for my childhood, the soft and tender memory of my parents' love and my affection for my homeland."

Titled "Lágrimas andinas" in Spanish.

Lágrimas andinas”

We received this vibrant wall tapestry and are delighted with the beauty, colour and theme. The piece will find its new home above our hearth here in Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada. The artist Raul Ulloa Baylón captures the Andean landscape and sentiment of his youth in a wonderfully impressionistic way while still using traditional imagery. The tapestry invokes a powerful reflective emotion on the struggles of maintaining cultures and the environments from which they arose.

Preserving Traditions

Preserving Traditions

The San Pedro de Cajas wooden handloom bears the name of the Andean town that for generations has used it to create beautiful weavings. Nearly everyone in the town knows how to weave. San Pedro de Cajas is also Raul Ulloa's hometown. Growing-up there, he learned to weave from his father. Raul treasures his artistic legacy - today in his workshop he uses this same loom and traditional techniques to create contemporary tapestries and accessories that honor the legacy of Peruvian woven cultural treasures.

Profound Impact

Profound Impact

At the turn of this century when Raul began to work with Novica, he lived and worked in a tiny rented house - fearful that he would be unable to support his wife and newborn child. Today, his Novica sales support his family. He has been able to acquire additional looms, grow his workshop and experience the joy of sending his two children to school.

Microcredit Financing

Microcredit Financing

Raul Ulloa Baylon has received 8 microcredit loans with 0% interest from Kiva and Novica, the first for $800 and the most recent for $1400. Proceeds were used to invest in the purchase of alpaca and sheep wool, his principal materials for production.

Enabling Education

Enabling Education

Providing his children with the best education possible is Raul's goal. Sending his two children to school brings him joy.
