These Peruvian artists believe that having art, customs, and folklore is necessary to have a sense of identity in a community. What are your thoughts on the art made here?

Had no idea potato and probably plaster would make a good clay material. The amount of details and patience put into these pieces is just too amazing. Although originally the 'retablos' are made for religious purposes, I feel that this form of art is also capable of delivering various other local themes. Hope this form of art is passed down through generations to come, keeping their culture intact. Great video by the way. Thanks for sharing National Geographic.

I am also a craftsperson and when he says that he feels free from the weight of the world when he works, I know that feeling as well. You're "in the zone" and your brains & hands are able to let the creativity out. It's comforting to know that it feels this way for others who create.

Exemplary craftsman; .Creative men with big ideas capture on his works; each one project has a history behind. Recognized for gaining many contests. I visited his workshop it was beautiful; his design is based on the concept of the altarpiece. I recommend that you should visit his workshop if you go to Ayacucho - Peru

Great Video. The kind of Tranquil Life desired by many I'm sure. It looks so peaceful and quiet. Worship has always been in our nature, although religion is a touch subject. Quite crafty and talented to shape the clay into such an impressively detailed face. Interesting religious fact about the Spanish, I didn't know that. Cultural value is priceless, a blessing indeed growing up so close to that. I think many cultures have facts and traditions slowly waning away through technological evolution. This Culture so beautifully Captured and Illustrated by this Talented Artist. The detail is astonishing, and serve as confirmation of really intense concentration. Thanks for sharing such valuable and interesting information.

Uma mensagem reflexiva e uma arte inquietante...as mãos o instrumento da imaginação...O colonialismo, a revolução e a influência da religião que foi imposta....a sensibilidade faz parte da vida e da arte. porque representa a realidade....Não me surpreende a luta do homem moderno abominar as manualidades??!! Se eu espremer o sumo de laranjas à mão não uso máquina, poupo energia, evito barulho e mantenho os músculos e sim uso ambas as mãos ...isto para dizer que o silêncio é de ouro neste vídeo retratado e as técnicas simples com figuras originais e com histórias vividas, os estudos preparatórios.!! Um vídeo que é simples genuino e uma lufada de ar fresco!! Será a arte a manifestação que dela se obtém? !

@natalia_jaira6381 5 жыл бұрын

Oi, esse material é gesso com batata. Son modeladas y pintadas a mano, el estilo que ves en el vídeo empezó a hacerse desde 1940, pero tiene una tradición colonial basada en los retablo portátiles que usaba la iglesía católica para evangelizar y que pasó a las fiestas de marcado de ganado. En el Perú donde más se desarrolla este tipo de arte es en Ayacucho, en los Andes peruanos.

At 7:40, when the artist states that by creating these figurines, they become representative of him being free or devoid of stress, etc. I think that the thought was incorrectly translated in the subtitling. Check your editing...
