- Galeria del Primer Pintor de Tigua - “Julio Toaquiza Tigasi” - The Kichwa community of Tigua, situated in the central Sierra region, is renowned for their traditional art on sheepskin canvases. Historically, the Tigua people were known for their intricately decorated masks and drums, with painting on flat surfaces being a more recent innovation. Tigua art is characterized by its vibrant colors and simple themes, often depicting pastoral life, religious ceremonies, and festivals. The volcano Cotopaxi frequently appears in these landscapes, reflecting its cultural importance in the area.
