Cornish artist John Dyer brings the magic of high Andean life to this vibrant original painting. Set beside the deep blue waters of Lake Titicaca, ‘Guinea Pigs and Snow Flurries at Lake Titicaca, Peru’ captures the meeting of warmth, colour and altitude that defines this extraordinary landscape. Above the lake, delicate snow flurries drift across the scene, settling gently against the snowy mountain peaks and reminding us of the crisp, rarefied air of the Peruvian Andes.

In the terraces below, John paints an energetic celebration of Peruvian culture. Llamas wrapped in beautifully patterned blankets stand amongst farmers tending their fields, while guinea pigs explore the harvest terraces and nestle near the brightly coloured textiles laid out beneath them to dry the potato harvest. Boats glide quietly over the shimmering water, and flamingos lift into the star-filled night sky, adding a sense of movement and wonder to the painting.

The colours are joyful, layered and luminous, creating a scene that immediately lifts the room it inhabits. John’s distinctive palette brings warmth to the cool, snowy night and harmony to the contrasting elements of lake, mountains and agricultural terraces. Collectors will appreciate the sense of storytelling and connection to place, hallmarks of John’s work as one of Cornwall’s most celebrated artists and the Eden Project’s Artist in Residence.

This jewel-like painting is highly collectable and perfect for adding a burst of colour and culture to a study, hallway or home gallery wall. A lovely opportunity to invest in a unique work that carries the spirit of Peru and the imaginative world-view that defines John’s global expedition paintings.
