Galería del Primer Pintor de Tigua - "Julio Toaquiza Tigasi" is an art gallery located in Tigua, Ecuador that showcases the work of Julio Toaquiza Tigasi, the first painter of his kind. Here, visitors can observe beautiful pieces of art in sheepskin as well as intricately hand-carved wooden masks and other unique crafts. The gallery allows for a chance to truly appreciate the customs, stories, harvest, dreams, and festivities of the Tigua people. Those who visit this gallery can explore different ways of experiencing it and view many illustrations and expressions in each picture. As a personal tip, if you want an art object from the gallery but can't afford it, in Otavalo's Mercado de Ponchos you will find many replicas at a much cheaper price.
