When I finished school I decided to study architecture, and failed in the attempt, as the only thing that came out was caricature.
My parents sent me to Germany, where I studied for two years in the School of Art of Mainz, and the Germans tried to convince me that pigs were superior to monkeys, because, at the very least one could make hams, sausages and bacon from them.  In the end, my caricatures were published by the newspaper "Wiesbadener Tagblatt", where I was the staff cartoonist for two years. I traveled to Berlin and began to paint everybodys fave the same, but I regretted it and discovered that everyone has a DIFFERENT FACE. Once back in Peru, I began doing comic strips and caricatures for the newspapers "El Pueblo y "Correo" and did my first exposition of caricatures in my home town. I traveled to Spain and was in Barcelona,  Torremolinos, Ibiza and the Canary Islands , painting caricatures of the tourists.In Tenerife I won the second prize in the "International Caricature Competition" -which was part of the Fifth Century Celebration of the Discovery of America. I now live in Lanzarote, Canary Islands-Spain- where I am still trying to prove that the MONKEY can paint CARICATURES!. |
When I was born on the 26th of January, 1944 in Arequipa, Peru-the doctors were very surprised at living proof that the human being did not DESCEND, but ASCENDED from the MONKEY!Actualizado ( Miércoles, 28 de Octubre de 2009 16:04 )
