This artistic tradition centered on the spiritual beauty of God, Jesus, the Blessed Mother, the Holy Family, angels, and the saints, using the artistic style of the Cuzco movement, which is defined by the predominance of red, yellow, and earth colors; the liberal use of gold leaf; and dramatic imagery.

Each painting is entirely handmade, using traditional oil on canvas. Their work reflects the devotion, skill, and spiritual tradition passed down through generations, inspired by the legacy of the Cusco School of Art—a blend of European sacred themes and Andean artistry.
