David Ramirez Nunta "Inin Soi" (Shipibo-Konibo, Peru) Maya Kene Handcrafted Shipibo-Konibo Textile Panel
This original Shipibo-Konibo textile work, titled Maya Kene, is a striking hand-crafted piece by David Ramirez Nunta, also known as Inin Soi, from Ucayali, Peru. Executed on cloth with traditional Shipibo-Konibo design language, the composition presents an elegant and highly disciplined arrangement of kene patterns-sacred visual structures that identify and celebrate the cultural legacy of the Shipibo-Konibo people.
According to the artist's description, Maya Kene symbolizes the Shipibo-Konibo community itself. These designs are deeply rooted in ancestral knowledge and are associated with the visionary plant piri piri, from which many traditional patterns are said to emerge. In Shipibo-Konibo culture, kene has long been preserved and transmitted through women-grandmothers, mothers, and daughters-who paint, embroider, and sustain this visual language across generations.
The work's layered borders and finely repeated internal motifs create a powerful sense of balance, order, and protection. Its black-and-ivory palette gives the textile a refined, sophisticated presence, making it equally compelling as a cultural object, a decorative statement, and a collectible work of Indigenous Peruvian art.
This is an excellent piece for collectors seeking authentic Amazonian artistry, museum-style textile display, or an original example of the spiritual and geometric beauty of the Shipibo-Konibo kene tradition.
