Product Description:
NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to
work directly with the finest artisan designers.
Theus takes his inspiration from Vincent Van Gogh, yet his
interpretation is personal and Andean. Imitating the sun itself, golden
daisies recall the 19th century Dutch master's sunflowers. Theus
captures their ethereal beauty as the drift in a cool green ambience.
"I strive to transmit life itself," the artist says. Titled "El
JardÃn de Van Gogh" in Spanish.
Artisan Info: Theus Alayo was born on June 24, 1955, on the Summer
Solstice and day of the Inti Raymi, or "Sun Festival." "I am self
taught in painting and the understanding of art," he says. "Through
art, I express a sensitivity toward beauty, and I inhabit a different
world than most people. Therefore I left the city and, like a bird in
flight, sought open spaces... beaches where I could find myself in the
seagulls and the infinity of the sea. There I left behind my repression
and, living alone, I paint, write and play music. It is something like
a return to the past, trying to find oneself with an originality of
form. This epoch is very evident in my paintings with the theme
'Flight' and in the deep mysticism of my 'Microteus' series. "I'd say
that, like a kind of Don Quixote, I sought my identity by living in a
large, abandoned water tank near the ocean. I decided to think of it as
a classroom, and experience the height and dimensions in a radius of
six meters at an elevation of more than 30 meters.
