Talent Has To Be Discovered
Quipus art gallery in Otavalo – Ecuador
This last week I have been bussing down half of South America from Colombia to South Peru. Three nightbusses in a row brought me from Quito to Cuzco, where I am still trying to adjust to the hight. It’s only suitable therefore that this time I made a video of talent based in Otavalo (Ecuador), but with a Peruvian background and art that is partially Peruvian and Ecuadorian. Meet Carlos and his brother Federico. The two are part of a Peruvian family of artists. Together with some art-friends from Otavalo, they show their work in their art gallery Quipus and on the Otavalian artisania market. 16 years of living in Otavalo and even more years of experience in painting makes for beautiful art, mostly for a cheap price!
Check out the video and see for yourself!

Laatste wat ik van je hoorde is dat je een 6000er hebt beklommen. En hebt overleefd. Nu is er al een paar dagen radiostilte – je bent toch niet ziek geworden van de inspanning?! Zie uit naar je verhalen!
Inderdaad druk geweest. Maar vooral technische problemen met het volgende filmpje. Als ik eindelijk ergens goed internet heb hoop ik het op te lossen!
Carlos and Federico presented/displayed artistic influence of the indigenismo that begins with the arrival of Jose Sabogal From 1920 expands a related current of thought our reality, appears Jose managing Sabogal here of the Indigenista movement (to feel own of Indians), inclining by the costumbrismo (own costumary) and vindication of the provincianismo (to ifluenciar of cities outside Lima).
denominated “indigenista”. In this period the influence of Sabogal as much in the thematic one as in the technique is undeniable; it abounds the thematic native and mestiza, the colors are alive and the strong outline that remarca the indigenous factions with pómulo angular, great and fixed eyes and the expanded pupils.
Carlos in His works predominates the symbolic and schematic attitude of the reality, develops the form of geometric structure, to apply it his to feel indigenista
in Peru artists from the beginnings of their history dream up
