Joaquin Tinta

Taller Tinta was established in 1913 by the Tinta family. The original workshop was founded by Humberto Tinta in Sangolqui, Ecuador. The Sangolqui region is known as the cradle of silversmiths.

Humberto’s son, Joaquin Tinta, later applied his own aesthetic creating a line of brass birds and sculptures symbolizing liberty and depicting the protest against Spanish colonization of the Americas.

During the 1970’s, Joaquin Tinta and renowned artist Oswaldo Guayasamín formed a partnership and began transforming Guayasamín’s modern abstract paintings into sculptures. Tinta and Guayasamín collaborated for over 4 decades until Guayasamín’s death in 1999.

The fifth generation of the Tinta family silversmiths continues to fabricate handcrafted artisanal works of art to this day.
