About the Artist

The artist Pedro Juan Huamani Zegarra, in the course of his studies and investigation about art, has obtained complete knowledge about the ancient Americans, motivated by a relentless desire to deepen such knowledge, equally about the history of Inca and Pre-Inca culture and archeology, discovers: "That the peoples elevated pride has been attributed to an ancestry of heroes and gods". Theories that are supported by the legends of the Mayan, Aztec, Egyptian and other cultures; that carry us to conclude that the ancient cultures of the world had extra terrestrial ancestry and influence, of superior beings that bequeath us their teachings and that left in all the cultures of the world: ANALOGOUS CHARACTERISTICS AND REMAINS similar or exactly alike. 

These beings departed one day with the promise to come back some day. Our Inca and Pre-Inca culture was regarded as an exotic world full of mysticism and nationalism and is concluded that many desperate theories existed in search of the GENESIS of the ancient American civilization. 

THE ARTIST PLACES HIS CREATIVITY, DESCRIPTIVENESS, INVENTIVENESS AND ANALYTIC CAPACITY, in his eagerness to create a new pictorial current, seeking to give to it new beauty, more depth, more value to the ART OF THE ANCIENT AMERICAN AND TO RECAPTURE OUR VALUABLE ANCESTRY, that is recognized at an international level and is recovering value and beauty. 

The artist Pedro Huamani Zegarra, masters the techniques of painting in oleum and water-color, having a refined sense of drawing as base of his creations, represents the style Neo-figurative, expressionist and abstract, uses violent and strong colors, typical colors of the Pre-Inca culture, also masters the chromatic harmonies and valoratives, accomplishing in determined canvas the contrast of the artist personal characteristic tonalities that denote the euphoria and the passiveness of his character as formed in his works of art. 

His paintings emphasize a conjunction of forms, a mixture of Pre-Columbian figures that attempt to revive our historical past through totemic figures.

In synthesis the painter is a creator of IMAGES, captor of FORMS and MYTHIC PERSONAGES.
