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.
