About this Artist
The Huaman Paucar Family was featured in Keepers of the Arts, a beautiful hardcover book compiled by Novica. Their art has also been featured in the Daily Breeze newspaper, in Southern California."My wife and I hail from the capital of the Inca Empire, situated deep in the Peruvian Andes. We dress our jars and decorative plates in beautiful designs from ancient Peru. Each carries the powerful, elemental mystery of water and earth.
"Our family's journey in the ceramic arts has been influenced by the customs and lifestyles of my village, a village of ceramic artisans.
"When Ubaldina was young, she attended obligatory classes at the the Artisan School of Pisac. This knowledge of hers inspired us," continues Gerardo, "and awoke in us a passion for ceramic art, a passion that our three grown children share with us. Our production is prolific and varied; we make keros, aríbalos, plates, vases, jars and other decorative objects, all with diverse Incan motifs.
"Our work is meticulous, and we put forth much effort in the finishing touches – that is the quality that identifies us. In our home-based workshop we also teach other ceramists in our tradition, and many have stayed to work with us.
"Our clay pieces are molded both on an old-fashioned potter's wheel and by hand. Later they are fired in a brick oven that reaches a temperature of 800º to 900º Celsius. After this, we decorate them using varied tones of paints and pigments. In our artesanía we represent the history and customs of our village and its religious beliefs."
We were stunned by the beauty of the pot that you had created for us and thank you for the outstanding quality of work.

'Inca Cat Guardians' was my second purchase from this talented family. Their work is simply wonderful and very decorative. The detail and quality are unmatched and the shipping/packaging was excellent. Highly recommended!

When the Huaman Paucar family says their work is meticulous, you can believe it! The plate I ordered, "Hitching Post of the Sun," is perfectly and amazingly detailed. Thanks so much for the exceptional craftsmanship.

I loved the 6 little vases I received from the Huaman Paucar Family. The intricate detail of the designs was incredible. My brother, who is an artist, had a hard time believing they were made so perfectly by hand until he took a magnifying glass to them. One of the vases arrived broken (although it was packaged very well - and beautifully) so I contacted Novica, who contacted the Huaman Paucar Family. I was sent a replacement promptly that was in perfect condition. Thank you!

I just received the Harmonious Geometry plate that was ordered as a Christmas gift, and it is beautiful, so beautiful, I decided to order one for myself. The packaging was perfect, with no chance of my order being damaged. Thank you.

Cuzco vases, 'Inca Triumph' (set of 3)- I ordered these beautiful vases to decorate my new Southwestern kitchen. They are well made and meticulously painted with individual design work. I am fascinated with the fine details!

To the Huaman Paucar Family, We received the most colorful vase that you created, and it now sits proudly on its own table. The designs of your traditional culture are so admired by my partner and I; we treasure your traditions and we celebrate them. We have just moved into a new home in September -- it is small, but it is becoming more joyful each time we display a new piece of art from an Andean-Peruvian artisan. I will soon be photographing your vase on its table and I will upload it on the Novica website for all to see! I wish you and your family a prosperous venture with Novica...we are so happy to have the opportunity to view and acquire your crafts. Thank you for adding joy to our home:-) Sincerely, Lisa

Greetings, Huaman Paucar Family! I just received the stunningly beautiful vase that you painted, "Treasure." I placed it on a special table that highlights its beauty and I so appreciate the intricate detail. The time and patience it must have taken to create this vase is a rarity in today's fast-paced world. Your vase reminds me that beauty in life must be taken in fully. The intricate details of your traditional cultural crafts are so worthy of a special display, which is what I've given it. I am excited for my relatives and friends to see it over the holidays...I know they will also be in awe of your talent! I hope you continue to keep alive this traditional art! Lisa
