I was born in 1945 in Lima, Peru, to a family of meager resources. So although in theory we belonged to a comfortable middle-class family, I never had a real opportunity to study music, art or literature, which I passionately loved.

It was only after I was forty that I was at last able to take courses in watercolor painting. The courses completed, I sold my old van and travelled for a time, mostly by train, photographing the wonderful landscapes of my country - a tour which for years to come would inspire me to draw and paint as a hobby - until I ran out of money and had to get back to Lima and my usual occupations, which included administering small businesses and doing translations.

After that, except for intermittent attempts at painting in watercolor and a little in acrylics and for what would finally become my most cherished project here at Adland (my GREAT ART OF THE WORLD forum, which you may visit HERE), my love for art has never really found a public way of expression until this very moment, with this opportunity to exhibit some of my painting in this excellent forum thanks to Rose, Jenny and Venerina’s kindness, and thanks to your benevolence as well.

As to the paintings here: All landscapes were painted from photographs taken by me except for “Trees-a” and “Tropic swamp,” which were taken from photographs by one of my sisters who is a painter as well. Lord Shiva I copied from a picture of an old masterpiece of the Greek-Hindu-Buddhist school of painting. It took me several months. Self-portraits and stills were painted from the natural in about an hours work.

I want to give my special thanks to my dear friends Jenny and Rose who made this exhibition possible.
