Villasante was born in 1965 in the poorest section of Peru, Puno. At the age of 7 he was taken to the port of Lima with expectations of emigrating to the USA. Because of legal implications, he was not to realize his dream. He remained alone in Lima, never returning to Puno, and stayed by himself as the sole occupant in the house all these years. Villasante’s brush strokes show his character… strong and determinate. He shows his candor and innocence through the paintings of children; and the influence of his architectural studies is shown through his doors and boat renderings. His still-life works show his ability to relate the old traditional Peruvian culture with what is modern Peru. His portrait and character studies bring forth and make evident his perception and deep feeling and understanding of life and the individual. Well known for his dozens of exhibitions in America, and very high prices in U.S. galleries. We can ship rolled.
