About The Artist

Work experience from 1989 to the present (32 years) I was born in Lima in 1963. In 1986, I was admitted to Peru’s Advanced Autonomous School of Fine Arts (Escuela Nacional Superior Autónoma de Bellas Artes del Peru - ENSABAP) to study drawing and painting, while continuing studies in civil engineering at the National University of Engineering (Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería - UNI). Both majors involved a very specific set of aptitudes, and helped shape different life perspectives for me as a future artist. Between the demands of my engineering studies and my vital commitment to art, in the midst of a complex decision I ended up choosing to work in the field of plastic arts, where I found my true vocation and personal satisfaction. I currently live in the city of Lima, Peru. AWARDS AND DISTINCTIONS: First Prize in the “Ninth National Coca Cola Painting Contest.” Banco Wiese Sudameris Hall, Peru.
