The 10 Best Shopping in Quito, Pichincha Province
With a rich pre-Colombian history, Ecuador's capital was founded on the ruins of an Incan city but offers everything a modern traveler might need. It remains the least-altered historic center in Latin America and has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Quito’s important sites include baroque gems like San Francisco and Santo Domingo monasteries, as well as La Compañía church and college. This huge city sprawls across a breathtaking Andean valley surrounded by volcanic peaks.

This is a permanent exhibit of many phases of my art work in 7 rooms in a 175 year old restored house in the historic center of Quito, Ecuador. The art work is oneiric and hyperreal, in oil, drawing, and assemblage. I also take visitors through the house and patios to have a birds-eye view of what a typical colonial Quitenio house is like and to talk about restoration. Appointment only.

+ ARTE gallery is a space for the exhibition, promotion and marketing of art in the city of Quito-Ecuador. It was born due to the need for an exhibition space for emerging local artists. At present, it specializes in exhibiting contemporary and current works from Ecuador. It seeks to promote the career of emerging artists, internationalize the work of artists with experience and encourage the local art scene. A specific type of art is not shown; on the contrary, diversity and interdisciplinity are sought. Parallel to the exhibitions, conversations and activities are carried out that enrich the public's experience. In addition, it works on the promotion of artists in unconventional spaces outside the gallery and supports the artistic scene within Ecuador. On the other hand, seeks to work in collaboration with different entities of the medium to increase the possibility of work within art in Ecuador.

The confinement due to the covid-19 has made me reflect on the little things in life and I have decided to take time to appreciate them carefully. It turns out that I have also decided to write my outstanding comments on those small but magical places that I have visited and that in the eyes of any traveler could go unnoticed. Such is the case of this hidden gem that I found in Ecuador: PIMKAY. In this handicraft shop, the hard manual work of a group of women and men is combined to create an environment where: customs, fashion, good taste, culture and tradition converge to fill our lives with little details. When all this is over ... you will be eager to visit those splendid monuments that humanity, time and history have left us ... But if you visit Ecuador, take time to think about the little details and visit PIMKAY. I think ... I'm sure you won't regret it.
