ceramic sun

As the sun assumes the body of a condor, it sheds light on a collection of Inca glyphs. Transformed into a mask, the image is one of spiritual mystery. Alberto Aparicio Canchari handcrafts this mask from ceramic, which he then fires in a wood-powered kiln. Once the mask has cooled, Aparicio paints the geometric stylizations that are unique to the Inca.

Crafted by hand, this beautiful mask depicts the sun. Alberto Aparicio Canchari works in ceramic, adding pre-Hispanic art in the style of the famous Nazca geoglyphs.
