Details

Located in the center of Peru, Tarma is a village known for its music and dance traditions. Among these traditions, Huayno is a distinctive dance performed by a man and a woman, characterized by agile stomping of the feet. Artisan Erika Ulloa pays homage to this dance, combining it with a traditional nativity scene. Handcrafted of ceramic and painted by hand, the intricate figures of the dancers perform around baby Jesus, accompanied by a band of woodwind and string instrumentalists.

"Christ, the Prince of Peace"

With her usual consummate artistry and imagination, Erika Ulloa offers a prayer for peace in her depiction of the birth of the Christ Child changing soldiers from agents of war into bringers of aid and comfort. For me at least, this takes just another nativity scene in my collection to an instrument of contemplation and of motivation for working for social change. It is a true work of art, that changes the viewer.

"La Tunantada"

Erica Ulua brings both great imagination and great skill to her retablos. La Tunantada is the fourth of her lovely works that I have purchased. All have been been nativity scenes of one sort or another.

"Magnifico"

Acabo de recibir mi retablo.  Estoy muy feliz, es muy hermoso.  Agradezco el trabajo muy prolijo tanto por los músicos esqueléticos como por su pintura.  Me gustan especialmente los detalles de los gorros y el pelo de plumas.  Me gusta mucho su trabajo Sra. Erika Ulloa
