Tequin - Cusco

ORIGINAL WORK

Highland village in Peru, Cusco

Artist: Tequin Medium: Watercolor Origin: Peru

Tequin is a Peruvian artist. While not widely known in international circles, his paintings are beloved in folk art communities and Peruvian artisan markets: known for delicate watercolor works that often depict traditional Andean or Latin American village life. His style blends impressionistic techniques with cultural storytelling, using soft, atmospheric colors and fluid brushstrokes to evoke a sense of place, tradition, and serenity. Style & Technique:

Medium: Watercolor

Style: Impressionistic with loose, fluid brushstrokes that suggest more than define.

Color Palette: Soft, muted tones dominated by grays, blues, and purples, with warm touches of ochre, orange, and pink to highlight human figures and architectural features. Subject & Composition:

Setting: A charming village with stone-paved paths, rustic archways, and traditional homes with tiled roofs and balconies. The buildings fade into the misty background, enhancing the dreamy, ethereal feel.

Figures: Several human figures in traditional Andean attire are scattered throughout the scene. Bright garments such as orange, pink, yellow, and blue offer contrast against the subdued background. There's also a llama in the foreground, reinforcing the Andean cultural context.

Activities: People are seen walking, sitting, and conversing. Some appear to be merchants or villagers resting by the path.

Atmosphere: Calm, nostalgic, and somewhat mystical. The soft blending of colors and light creates a sense of early morning or foggy weather.

This piece beautifully captures the essence of rural community life in the Andes and evokes a serene, timeless feeling.
