Enrique Bustamante Biography

An established Peruvian artist, Enrique Bustamante is considered the last naive painter in Peru. He paints the flora and fauna of the Americas, focusing on animals that are close to extinction. Throughout his career he has used many pictorial techniques to express himself, most recently working in acrylic; a fitting medium for his highly detailed and creative work. He often works on single paintings for months at a time.

Apart from his work as a fine artist, Bustamante is a historian and writer. He studied both in Lima and abroad.
