About this Artist
"I was born in a city famous tapestries of intricate techniques are our tradition. I inherited my art from my ancestors; ever since I can remember I have seen every one of my relatives weaving: great-grandparents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins and brothers. On occasion my mother, Eleuteria Oscanoa Montes, helps me to design and produce my weavings, and signs her work EOM. She continues to serve as an inspiration and support."That is to say, I grew up amid looms and sheep's wool. From when I was little I have loved passing the thread through the loom, imagining a bedcover for my doll. As I grew up the game became an obligation - my brothers and I had to collaborate with our parents in order to complete the tasks that the handicrafts stores gave my parents. This is how I discovered my style.
"I enjoy making Cubist-style designs inspired by our folklore and everyday scenes from my village. To weave the tapestries I use sheep's wool, which I color with natural dyes such as tara, walnut, and one derived from the cochineal insect, etc. Currently I am living in the city and I am married."
We loved the harpist tapestry. Just got it back from the framer's yesterday and it's hanging in a prominent place on our living room wall. The work is exquisite. Thank you very much Ms. Oscanoa.

Greetings, Miss Oscanoa! I am so fortunate to have in my home your exquisite wool tapestry, "Village Lane." I hung it up a couple of days ago and it has transformed the feeling of our living space. The many colors combined with the depth of your vision provides a delightful viewing experience for my partner and I, plus all the family and friends who will now get to see it! You truly are a gifted artisan -- please know in your heart how much joy your craft brings us. We feel as though we can almost breathe the high-mountain Andean air of your village. Your tapestry inspires us and always will. We look forward to seeing more of your work and we share Novica and your name with our friends and family! Thank you, kindly:-)

I recently received the "Picaflor of Tarma" tapestry I purchased from Ms. Oscanoa, and what an exquisite piece of artistry it is. The colors, the material and the craftsmanship are a delight to the eye. I am so pleased with it. Everytime I enter the room where it is displayed it brings a smile to my face. Thank you Ms. Oscanoa for such a wonderful piece of work and for sharing your gift and your culture with me and with everyone else who has the pleasure of owning your artwork!

Ms. Oscanoa was one of our 5 choices for Christmas gifts. Her work immediately conveys what life must be like in the Andes. The colors were cheerful and the pattern of her tapestries also reflect her culture.
