GINO CECCARELLI BARDALES
“My painting is about approaching the Amazonian cosmology,to understand it, to apprehend it and recreate it. But that source of
mystery, magic, myths and legends is endless. The more you investigate the more you discover that you have only touched the surface. I have hundreds of paintings to paint in my head and thousands that are in ideas. The issue is whether I will live long enough to paint and put on canvas everything I would like to.”

BRUS RUBIO CHURAY
“My art reflects the joy of developing different sensibilities that dialogue with life, transporting me to a new world of imaginations loaded with magical realism. My family environment is made up of two different cultures: Huitoto and Bora, which allows me to balance between two spaces that are the traditional and the cosmopolitan world.”

REMBER YAHUARCANI
“Myths are the rivers of our memory. They are life. They are the origin. In them is our past, present and our precious future.
Myths are the rivers where the memory of our grandparents navigates and we must catch the wise words of resistance against oblivion, discrimination and exclusion.“

CHRISTIAN BENDAYÁN
The interesting thing about Amazonian art that is currently being consumed is that it is not limited to the theme of joy, fun and impudence as it happened during a lot of time, I think the current offer includes an introspective look, a recognition of our origins, a message of respect and conservation of the
nature and especially a lot of information about myths, legends and other parallel "realities" in which the Amazonian People coexist.

MIGUEL VILCA VARGAS
“To breathe in sepia and black in the middle of this greenery, you need an excuse, a story or witness many.
A fantasy that revives testimonies of abandoned and forgotten discovered in its humid and exotic nature, show their bodies that eat the myths and sweat them, dry the pores of their existence between redemption and sin, betrayal and love, the fear of punishment and the desire to find light ... That's why we evoked the classics, we avoided the false shamans and incomprehensible icaros ... alone as they came to the side of a story. The same story that later caused them to break the spirit ... that's why we re-sent them to the joyful dance of the Shipibo world, creating a dialogue between the classic and the exotic ... the river and the shadow travel the same way ... “

GRACIELA ARIAS
The jungle is full of magic and mystery and everyone tries to
discover and understand it in their own way. When I paint, I try
to understand and convey what I experience through the
jungle.

ANTONIO GARCÍA CASTILLO
"In my works I seek to create a detonating space, using different sources and ideas that reflect on identity, territory, memory, nature and ecology. I am interested in investigating through different means and materials the possibilities of art to cross and connect distant disciplinary fields, from popular traditions to anthropological art to scientific research, relating nature-life, nature-economy, nature-spirit, nature-art, rethinking aspects of historical memory, social, geographic and political contexts in relation to the vulnerability of our human condition, of all that is alive and sacred in nature"

SHIPIBO CERAMICS
Ceramic Gallery Shipibo
The ceramics represents the Shipibo worldview: everything that is above in the sky is down in the earth and both are reflected
mutually; from there, the constellations are the rivers and the lines
thick that are in the middle of them are the path of the canoe
driven by the sun.
The artist mediates between the material world and the world of spirits. The creation of an object is seen as the opportunity to express their cosmic beliefs, through the strong symbolic and spiritual content of their designs.

AMAZON
VIEW FROM
SPACE
In that geographical effigy plagued by history and nature, it is concentrated in the greatest biological wealth of the planet, in the most important reservoir of our world future and, above all, the most disconcerting accumulation of magic and mystery of whole humanity.
