'Grandfather' (2009) (Peru)
Warm colors create a vital ambience filled with luminous imagery. Working in brown, ochre, yellows and red, Tito Julio Tarqui Prado creates a vision of mystical appeal. His theme is the ancestral wealth of the Inca, expressed through ceramics. Seducing the imagination, this abstract work pays tribute to Peru's ancient peoples. Titled Awk (Grandfather) in Quechua.
