About this Artist
Born in the Puervian highlands, Francisco Huaynate has always been exposed to the richness of textile arts. This village is known for the vividness of its tapestries, where scenes from highland Peru reveal themselves with subtlety and warmth. Together with his wife Alejandra, Francisco has opened a small workshop where, with the help of their children, they produce stellar examples of the imaginative yet traditional art of the region."I've been dedicated to textile arts since my adolescence, although before I made this decision I was surrounded by tapestries as a native of the Peruvian highlands. My textile art recreates motifs from my own perspective and in them I express the culture of my country and village, reflecting the everyday customs and situations that reflect our feelings and beliefs. With my family, we constitute a workshop where my wife Alejandra helps with the designs and finishing touches; our children also help us. In our work we employ sheep's wool, cotton, synthetic threads and various dyes. As tools we use the loom, machine of artisanal weaving, teasel and shuttle. Before we begin weaving we make the design on paper.
"We are proud to be from Peru and to develop our art with modesty - to deliver to the public the result of a job done with love and dedication. We also do made-to-order pieces according to the design they give us. In each work I apply at least fifteen colors. With my wife we proposed a challenge to ourselves: to open up a path in textile art so as to have a business with our own designs. And after years we can say we've achieved this. We are jealous of our work, but when we see that somebody really wishes to learn we teach them."
I fell in love with the face of the little girl in this artist's "Little Girl and the Piglet," as well as the expression on the piglet's face. The piece is charming and the workmanship is wonderful. I could not be more pleased with this wonderful work of art and am looking forward to displaying it prominently in my home. Many thanks to the artist and to Novica for once again exceeding my expectations.

We have now returned from Colorado to our new home in Central California, bringing with us all of our Puruvian textile art. We are comfortably settled in our new surroundings, with all of our old and dear friends, "Herd of Llamas", "Conch Shell Horn", "Girl from Cuzco", "Ancash Landscape", "Junin Boy" and "Girl Thinking". Our home would not be the same without our lovely Francisco Huaynate Paucar masterpieces.

My home has become a gallary for six of Francisco Huaynate Paucar's exquisite tapestries. As guests review his work, they each have their favorites. His creation of light and shadow is amazing and changes in effect from dawn to dusk. Thank you, Francisco, for sharing your talents and love of your homeland with the world.

I absolutely love and adore the stunningly beautiful tapestry "Sarhua Festival" created by Francisco Huaynate Paucar. The scene depicted is so colourful, detailed, joyous and lively! It truly brightens up our dining room and I will be so proud to introduce to all my friends a magnificent piece of Peruvian art! THANK YOU Francisco from the bottom of my heart and NOVICA for making all this possible!

I love Novica. I happened upon this site by fluke and have thanked my lucky stars and my credit card since. I have bought beautiful jewellery for myself and my friends, rugs, art, collectibles, I love the bright colours of the Andes and Brazil. Australian Indigenous art is wonderful but its earthy colours are not for me and I long for the brightness that Ive seen on this site. Ive bought tapestries, glasswork, paintings - all at ridiculous prices. Rugs from India - for the same price that I could pay for mass-produced rugs here. I feel as though Ive made a statement in my home, supported very talented artists and love everything I touch and look at. And I will spend the rest of my life admiring my purchases.

Just received "my friend Trini" and it is just beautiful. Thank you so much. I have been to Cusco and Macchu Picchu and fell in love with the people and the area. This work of art will remind of my wonderful visit there.

I just received the tapestry called Apurimac Traveler by Francisco Huaynate Paucar. The detail and color shading is spectacular and it brings a sense of warmth to the room This is a high quality wool tapestry. I was also pleasantly surprised when I opened the outside package at the personal touches included in the inner wrapping. I have been looking for four years for the perfect wall hanging for my frontroom and I am so please because this tapestry is perfect. I often find myself lost in thought looking into the tapestry and it brings me a sense of serenity and calm. Great piece of art! Thank you.

I just received 2 tapestries from Peru that Francisco Huaynate Paucar wove, and they are absolutely beautiful. The detail and realness of the llamas is wonderful; I raise llamas myself and these are true art, so realistic and complimentary to the noble animal. Thank you for your work...
