I’m starting a series on the beautiful artwork created by artists from the web site Novica.com.

The first featured artist is Cerapio Vallejo who hails from Peru and makes exquisite tapestries and rugs from wool. Cerapio draws the inspiration for his unique works from his ancient Peruvian cultures, Andean village life, and from the snow-capped mountains where he lives.

He learned his craft from his parents and grandparents and has perfected it over the course of many years. His work has been featured in many magazines,newspapers and on television including PBS here in the United States.

Cerapio’s work is reminiscent of the southwestern style that is so prevalent in log cabin decor and rustic decor. His work would be perfect for you if you are looking to decorate your cabin or home in the Southwestern motif.

Have a look at more of Cerapio’s artwork here.

Much of the rustic art that masquerades as decor for your country home or log cabin is a bit cheesy or a bit too cutesy these days.

Not so with the rustic art and decor found at Novica.com. I have spent some time on the site and the art is first class all the way. The art is incredible and includes everything you can think of to decorate your home, cabin or just a single room.

The site was put together as an outlet for artisans around the world to get a market for their work. The great thing about the site is it gets artists much more exposure and income for their work then they could possibly get on a local basis, yet it manages to keep the art at a price that is affordable for everyone.

You absolutely do not want to miss the rustic art and decor at Novica.com. It might just turn the art world on its head.
