J CASTILLA-BAMBAREN STATEMENT

…" SINCE MY EARLY CHILHOOD I WAS SEDUCED BY THE BEAUTY AND EXPRESSION OF THE PERUVIAN PRE-COLUMBIAN POTTERY,TEXTILES,AND SCULPTURES. LATER I DISCOVERED THE ARTISTIC EXPRESSIONS OF OTHER LATIN AMERICAN CULTURES THE MAYAS,OLMECS.AZTECS,ETC. SINCE I STARTED TO PAINT AND DRAW I HAD A EMOTIONAL CONNECTION WITH SURREALISM AND GERMAN EXPRESSIONIST PAINTING . I ALSO FELL IN LOVE WITH THE CULTURES OF AFRICA AND OCEANIA , AND WITH THE MARVELOUS ART BRUT ,RAW ART ,AND THE PRIMITIVE DRAWINGS MADE BY CHILDREN… WHEN I START TO PAINT AND DRAW I PUT MYSELF NATURALLY IN A SORT OF ,
-JAZZ IMPROVISATIONAL MOOD - I HAVE NO PRECONCIEVED IDEA OF WHAT IS GOING TO BE CREATED BY MY HANDS AND WHEN IT ALL FINISHES I AM THE FIRST TO BE SURPRISED OF WHAT APPEARED IN MY CANVAS OR PAPER…"
