ART AND PAINTING VACATIONS
IN THE SACRED VALLEY OF THE INCAS – APRIL 2012

Easter 2012: Art and painting vacations in the impressive Sacred Valley. During ten days, we´ll get submerged in the pure and splendid nature of the Andes, meditating and watercolour painting our interiorized impressions. We´ll also visit the spectacular architectural complexes left as our inheritance by the Incas, as well as contemporaneous art expositions in Cusco, and we´ll enjoy the exquisite Peruvian cuisine, with its savoury and exotic ingredients. Then, the evenings with movies and documentaries, will take us to the Andean Cosmos. More infos and descriptions at:

Not only did the Paracas artists “thematize” the physical appearance of a human, vegetable or divine being, but they also manifested it in its totality, with its full potential in which creation, fertility and development are fundamental… We are dedicated to the diverse realities, getting introduced in the Andean cosmovision

It is the time for sowing and plowing; time to ask permission to the Pacha Mama, as well as to thank Her through ritual offerings, giving back something of what She produced, in a symbolic way. We will interpret music, with instruments that correspond to that time of year. Details here:

Every year, between August 14 and 19, the Festivity of the Virgin Asunta is celebrated in Calca. Under the vigilance and protection of the Virgin Asunta (also called Mamacha Asunta), the Peruvian people dance their history with colourful, impressive and grotesque dances, and throughout that captivating and sensational feast, full of joy and sarcastic irony, they connect their past to the present. In that way, the Peruvians are true masters in the art of reflecting their history, without bitterness and judgement. Pictures here:
