About this item

"Fields of flowers stretch toward the horizon where green meadows rest in the shadow of the Andes. All is light and brightness in this colorful tapestry by Luis Leon. Using yarn on a handloom, he portrays the flower harvest in Tarma. A boy guides his llamas toward the market in town, each animal laden with fragrant blossoms. Situated at nearly 10,000 feet above sea level in the central Andes of Peru, the Tarma region is considered the 'cradle of flowers.'

Titled 'Cosechando flores' in Spanish."

Luis Leon

"To create my rugs and tapestries I use wool colored with natural dyes extracted from plants. The warp, or vertical threads, are of cotton strung on a handmade wooden loom.

"At the moment I am still single and live at home with my parents and siblings. My father has a workshop in our home where my brothers and I work at weaving along with our parents.

"I desire with all my heart that you appreciate our work, because my family and I weave each piece with much love."

Luis Leon

Luis Leon handwoven rugs and tapestries

"My name is Luis León. I was born on April 10, 1976 in a town of textile artisans in the state of Junin. I learned to weave from my parents. At first I was mostly an assistant, handing them the yarns and fleece so that they could weave. Later on I learned how to weave panels and, at the age of eleven, I began to make my first pieces on a floor loom.
