In South-America, tapestry art goes a long way back. Our ancestors expressed themselves through hand-woven tapestries depicting their beliefs, nature and important events. It was a way to communicate in a society where a written language was lacking.
As it is very time-consuming, very few young people are dedicating themselves to this art today. Surco Tapestry Art makes every effort to preserve the art of Andean tapestry in Peru. We honor our roots and our ancestors as we develop this art further connecting it to the modern world. It is our gift to humanity.
Hector Surco was born in Cusco, the capital city of the Incas, in 1986. Since he was a child, he has shown his passion for drawing and painting. Like many children growing up in Cusco, his grandmother showed him how to weave and create textile art
