Rufo

Rufo is a contemporary artist from Peru whose work explores the rich tapestry of Andean culture, the complexities of urban Lima, and the evolving identity of modern Latin America. Born and raised in the historic city of Cusco, Rufo draws inspiration from ancient indigenous traditions, vibrant Peruvian landscapes, and the dynamic interplay between heritage and innovation. His use of bold colors, intricate textures, and mixed media techniques creates a visual language that is both deeply personal and universally resonant.

With a background in both traditional painting and multimedia installations, Rufo’s art bridges ancestral symbolism with contemporary concerns, often addressing themes of migration, memory, and the power of collective storytelling. Over the past decade, his works have been showcased in exhibitions across South America, Europe, and the United States, earning him recognition for his unique ability to weave local narratives into a global artistic conversation. Rufo continues to live and work in Peru, where he remains committed to fostering dialogue between diverse communities through creative expression.
