Art, Culture, and Community Builders
Alfredo Zagaceta is from Pucallpa, the Ucayali region of the Peruvian Amazon Jungle. Apprenticing under Pablo Amaringo, he lived and worked with him in exchange for his school’s tuition at the Amazon School of Painting. For 4 years, Zagaceta learned English, helped with daily chores, and immersed himself in jungle wisdom. With an ability to perceive the metaphysical realms, he interprets scenes onto the canvas.
Zagaceta has participated in collective exhibitions in various parts of Peru, the US, Europe, and Japan. His paintings hang in the International Museum of Children’s Art in Norway, and he has participated in the film, “And So I Tell Them to Paint.”
He currently resides in Pucallpa and paints in the Neo-Amazónico and the Amazonia sub-realistic style. He says that his passion is painting, and that he will paint until he can no longer lift a brush.
Alfredo Zagaceta considers nature to be the true master, teaching the vibrations of beauty and love. His masterpieces are opportunities to delve into the spirit dimension within the jungle kingdom, assisting us in maturing the body and spirit.
