Andres Padilla

Andres Palacios Padilla was born in Peru in 1958. He studied at School of Arts of Lima 1979-1984 and Seminario Biblico Andino 1991-1993. Padilla, an accomplished abstract artist, was discovered at a young age by an instructor from the Seminario Biblico Andino in Peru. Recognized for having a unique talent and style, Padilla has always been willing to push his way through traditional means of brush stroke, and has, without fail, continued to amaze professors and collectors alike with his soft, unique, style of painting. By intricately mixing tones and layers of colour Padilla manages to create tranquil works that constantly attract and sooth the human eye. Texturally, Padilla uses a slightly hardened brush to intertwine his colours, a method that creates a sense of gentleness to his pieces, a gentleness that people continue to universally enjoy throughout Europe and North America. Padilla clearly delights in the emotion he manages to make audiences pull out of his pieces, emotion that his style deliberately evokes through its liberal use of colour and texture. Never afraid to try something new, Padilla continues to explore new methods of painting in his studio, constantly challenging traditional boundaries.

Victor del Castillo

Victor del Castillo was born in Lima, Peru, in 1968. At the age of three, a trip to El Callejon de Huaylas became his first source of inspiration. The rich and deep colors of the sky and landscape moved him to draw and paint a sketch. Despite his young age, the quality of the drawing was such that his parents were convinced he would become another Da Vinci.

At the age of 17, del Castillo joined the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes in Lima. After reviewing the different painting schools, Victor experiments and tries Impressionism, Fauvism, Abstraction and Informalism to end up at his graduation with realism.

His main subject, the still life, is given a special sense and sentiment by which the trivial elements become alive. It is as if every fruit he paints represents a state of the human soul.

Victor has participated in a long list of exhibitions and is being collected by serious and well-known art collectors.

Bartolome Luzanquis

Born in Cajamarca, Peru in 1963, Luzanquis emigrated to Piura, in northern Peru, where he apprenticed with the well-known master, Augusto de los Rios. After three years of very demanding work with De los Rios, he moved to Lima and worked in the atelier of Jorge Arriblasplata, a superb still life painter. He then rounded his education by joining the atelier of Ladislao Plasencki for two more years. Luzanquis has particpated in several exhibitions since 1990 and most of his paintings are collected in England and the United States.
