​ARTIST STATEMENT
Life is not a single color, not even the many shades of one. Even as we are pushed towards atomization, it is the infinite connections of our social existence that give life its true meaning. And though we are often asked to stand in awe of individual power and celebrity, it is community and mutual care that reach beyond. 
BRIEF BIO
I was born in Lima, Peru. I am mostly a self-taught painter. When I was about 15 my mother arranged for an Argentinian artist living in Lima to paint with me. I don’t remember his name. He mostly let me paint at my leisure and commented on my work. He drove me to the Pacific Ocean shore in Lima one afternoon and I painted the sunset. I wish I still had that painting. One painting in this exhibit was saved by my mother from that magical time. He taught me to appreciate color. Life taught me to appreciate a different kind of color.
