DECORATIVE PAINTING

Since antiquity some tribes of the Great Plains used to customize their dwellings decorating them with paintings, the art that has developed especially with the introduction of commercial dyes and canvas to make tipis. There are many decorative details and commonly used figures, yet each tribe had its own symbolism and narrative style that allowed them to convey stories of daily life as well as memorize some important feat or simply represent the environment and Nature. They could be war expeditions, hunting scenes, dreams or visions, but they always demonstrated the magic touch of their harmonious coexistence with the Universe.

Besides including our own paintings which respect the native aesthetic, we also create paintings in the traditional style of different cultures closely linked to the history of the teepee.

Our artwork is carried out entirely by hand, mostly with natural pigments mixed with latex, making them resistant to water and sun.

All fabrics of the teepee including the cover, lining, ozan, door and rain triangle, are usually decorated.

The cost of the painting depends on the complexity of the drawing, the surface to be covered, as well as the size of the teepee and range of colors.
