FINE Arts schools in Peru, China, and Mexico recognize the talent of Ernesto Apomayta Chambi, who said goodbye to his native Puno of Peru in 1984 to study traditional Chinese paintings, calligraphy, and learn the Chinese language. During his years at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, he discovered a deep connection between the original peoples of Peru and China. “When I arrived in Beijing, I felt that the pictograms on the streets and the phonetics of the language were similar to those of my Aymara people.” Apomayta is a descendant of the Quech-ua and Aymara peoples of the Andean regions of Peru. His first inspiration to learn to draw came from the impressive images from Lake Titicaca and the Incan citadel of Machu Picchu.
