Joan Alfaro was born in Cajamarca (Peru). Captivating the world with all the expressions of Peruvian Andean culture, Alfaro builds his paintings as an artisan of color and form, where the dreamlike spirit is the outstanding organic element that surrounds musicians, the elderly, children, mothers, and various characters in fantastic poses. Alfaro portrays the feeling and reality of our Andean culture in a surreal way through characters that develop between undulating lines with powerful colors that suggest a natural look with an ornament that makes it magical and attractive.
