Artist Statement:
Although I am Peruvian by
birth, I have also lived in
Miami, Buenos Aires, Caracas
and am now based in England
since 1994. My paintings are
usually acrylic on coarse
canvas but I also experiment
with other media and small
works on paper. I do not do
preparatory sketches but paint
directly onto the canvas or
paper.
My work revolves around
mystery. I am always exploring
subjects which do not have a
logical or scientific
explanation, that are always
challenging to understand.
For my first solo show I did a
series of paintings called
"Quipus", which refer to the
Inca culture of my native
Peru. The "Quipus" were
knotted lengths of cord or
wool, believed to be an
ancient communication system.
The stories, laws, messages or
figures represented by the
different colours and
intervals have been lost or
forgotten, yet their
communicative nature still
reaches out to modern
observers. I used bright
colours to explore this
concept.
Currently I am working on
paintings which relate to
another native Indian,
Quechuan, concept called
"Pachamama". This references
the Earth (Gaia) and the
environment and the colours in
these paintings are more
earth-based. This collection
will be exhibited in 2003.
