В аэропорту Лимы открыт первый в Латинской Америке бутик современного перуанского искусства

Lagardère Travel Retail Peru has partnered with Lima Airport Partners to open a dedicated space celebrating Peruvian artist Fito Espinosa at Jorge Chávez International Airport. Located within the international departures duty-free area and open to travellers since 11 August, the concept showcases Espinosa’s work across a range of formats and is believed to be the first space of its kind in a duty-free store in Latin America. The retailer said the opening forms part of its strategy to move beyond traditional retail by using airport spaces as platforms for local culture and creative talent. Espinosa is known for work exploring themes including sensitivity, spirituality, nature and connection with the inner world. His artistic universe has expanded beyond galleries into design and lifestyle products. Travellers visiting the new Lima airport space can discover fine art, paintings, sculpture, ceramics, porcelain and jewellery, alongside limited-edition pieces created in collaboration with Peruvian brands and craftspeople. “We are very proud to work with one of Peru’s most recognised artists to bring contemporary Peruvian culture to Lima Jorge Chávez International Airport,” said Miguel Ruiz, CEO of Lagardère Travel Retail Peru. “We believe this is the first concept of its type in Latin American duty free, illustrating our determination, alongside Lima Airport Partners, to create a truly unique retail offer. Fito Espinosa’s work encapsulates the Peruvian spirit and we are delighted to help bring his work to an international audience.” Lagardère Travel Retail said the concept reinforces its ambition to promote Peruvian culture to international travellers, while positioning the new Jorge Chávez International Airport as a showcase for the country’s creativity.
