3rd Feb-9th Feb 2019 at Paradise One Eco-Retreat Centre
I am a Peruvian artist from the Amazonian rainforest. I grew up on the banks of the Ucayali River, in Pucallpa. I always have been fascinated by the beauty of the Nature, inspired by the singing of the birds and attracted by the magic of Life. I remember all these stories told by my family about these unexpected occurences… I was always intrigued by all these things that talked about the invisible.
I didn’t fit in with the school, was not interested in the numbers and neither in all these dates were something happened… I always have been attracted by the colors of the nature, I always loved to look at the infinite shades of green that I could see in a tree. And I always enjoy to feel my hand retranscribe what my eyes could observe. So I applied into the art school of my native city, Eduardo Meza Saravia art school. During five years I received a very academic training and I learn a lot from these lovers of art. At the end of this cycle, I used to practice Abstract Art, making the fusion between texture and shape.

Today, I want to transmit through my artwork the communion existing between human, vegetable and animal kingdoms. This unicity without which nothing could get developped. I am so amazed by the deep connection that man can develop with plants and animals, by this intimate language that exists beyonds the words. I learn every day by watching Life in all its shapes. I see that the Human is a unique being, full of magical capacities and I feel honored to be one of them.
