PRESENTATION
Dear Friends
Is a chronological autobiography updated is a summary of my resume, in 64 years of existence
that beginning 1950 it extends until 2015. I wrote it to make it public and to share with you a
historical description of my individual performance and thus know me a little better.
Remembering and telling in a synthetic way and what is lived is a true revelation of the past
because positiveand negative facts and circumstances are narrated and that in view of the years
that have passed are accumulated as traces and experiences of the personal profile.
For this chronological recount I had to make an exhaustive memory of what was done, and look
for evidencessuchasfiles,documents,publications,testimoniesandphotographsthatIkeepwith
special care. However, itisunderstandable thatthere are omissions,forgetfulnessordatalost due
to the passage of time.
In the final part of the document you will read a commentary on ethical and moral appraisals of
my existence. I also invite you to be attentive to my next publication of the book entitled
"Testimony of an Artistic Volunteer in Peru" where I wrote in greater detail about the most
pleasant and significant mission that I could accomplish in 36 successive years.
Today beingclosertodeaththanto life,I feel grateful to reach this age and be able to share with
you an account of my evolution and professional work, the same ones that had their own
characteristics, also committed to service to before the selfish personal interest, he loves f or
economicgains,andevenwhenIfeel the gradual lossof myfacultiesoldage,continue tothe end,
still persist in some unrealized dreams.

ENTERTAINMENT AND COLLECTIONS
Since I was a child I have cultivated sports in the open field and also other forms of family group
recreation and I do them to this day.
The little free time I take them to think, talk, reflect, pray, write, listen to music and read. In the
countryside,Istill enjoyhiking,playingsoccerorridinga bicycle.I do not have vices or addictions;
in the city, I frequently attend various cultural events. No. I like random electronic games or
games, neither the popular mass events.
I have inclinations for collecting my own artwork now totaling over two thousand units, mostly
small format. I'm not excited to sell them because I consider having an unrepeatable artistic
heritage. I will do my best to find a philanthropist to help me a constructing a house where I can
display them publicly.
I alsoowna small collectionof handicraftswithelephantfigures,others of:keyholders, postcards
and stamps. And lately I frequently use the Internet and social networks where I publish
comments and news of general interest.
COMMENTARY
A time to knowmystory,I cannot hide mypride have bornin the AndesinLatinAmericaandhave
an atypical life that allowed me to experience and see live and act that way not common way
where the autonomy and overexertion go hand in hand, for that reason I have configured an
existence full of intensity, imagination and audacity.
"To achieve a full career in the autonomous professional performance, do not need sponsors,
recommendations, diplomas or degrees, nor honors, protocols or dogmas. They need a true
identity, honesty, commitment and pleasure to do better everyday tasks, and in a more perfect
and happy way ".
Otherkeyfacts that markedmyidentity were exercising the right to renounce own interests and
become a servant of others. I did not accumulate material fortune or money, I do not have
propertyor investments, instead I can show a baggage of experiences and intellectual gains and
althoughIrecognize thatsuch decisionsbroughtme away of life with restrictions and austerity, I
discovered that simplicity and resilience were supreme values.
Also,Imust confessthatI had wrong decisions, especially of labor and sentimental orders, which
decreasedmyeconomicandsocial expectationsandchanged the course of my horizons, because
over the years I found that an investment in solidarity works did not give tangible dividends.
I also had very acute frustrations and crises that reduced my mental and physical strength to
undertake major projects. However, I believe I have taken them as valuable teachings of daily
16. 16
suffering; instead I was able to strengthen ingenuity, creativity and self-esteem as well as the
reflexes of reason and acceptance of the vagaries of life.
Humansdo not are perfect, we have positive and negative aspects, and our behavior are always
dissimilarface the realityand the divine plan are those that mark the destiny of each individual.
And when, like me, we are born and grow up in a soil with a colonial past of suffering for the
destruction of a large part of its people and their ancestral cultural heritage, we long to be re-
buildersandthenleave some new signals, recognizing that in this Andean soil they lived people
with extraordinary wisdom.
Born and livingunderthe influence of the immensityandthe cleanAndeanairs, gives a credential
so as no fail,besidesthe historyhas us a virgin road through which to walk and that path is called
"entrepreneurship with innovation" and that means being an actor is proactive predisposed to
take initiatives and perform with courage, and that is what I did for over 65 years s. I tried to
redouble efforts by extending working hours to do more things at the same time. I did not know
resttime unlike wantedtoextendthe hoursof the day.I was imprisonedbymyowndecisionsand
demands.
Social responsibility performance, far away of material and pecuniary appetites, becomes a
permanent option lasts long struggle and survival. It is not easy to make radical decisions and to
persist in ideals that will not have immediate returns, and the voluntarism mission in arts that I
fulfilled with persistence and honor for 36 years was a challenge to uncertainty, and for that
reason I consider it the best personal feat. The human values that are born of goodwill and the
common good, are not theory or discourses, are pragmatic action with result and effective
benefits in the population.
On thisoccasionI have to recognize the educational value of myfathers Enrique andManuelawho
moldedme a differentimage permitme discoverthe taste forcommittedperformance withsocial
aspirations,andfulfill it without fanfare or publicity, rather within a sphere of anonymity. Thank
you parents for your inheritance… !!.
The service tootherswithoutaskinganything in return, makes us more human, and I can say that
thispositionwasalsoa reasonformy existence andwork,Iwill continuedoing until the last days,
using clean weapons of arts, without expecting in return any reward, honors or distinctions
because I have a very strong conviction that overcomes any superfluous protocol.
I thank God for giving me the gift of artistic creativity and some manual and mental skills to
transform my ideas and masterfully knowledge visible works. In old age, I continue working in a
disciplinedanddailymanner,creatingandrecreatingfigures,textsand ideas;andwith the energy
of my persistentspirit,Ihope toendmydayswithoutmajorpainsor anguishandwithmy eyesset
on the horizon of the future.

This footprint, set in 64 years of passage by this beautiful planet Earth, must be preserved in
perpetuitythatiswhyIhave askedthe children and young people of Peru to be the caretakers of
this legacy.
How important it is to present a path of clean life forced, I could preserve it by the force of
knowledge andalthoughIhave nodescendantsorsuccessors,I will be able leave planted a living
seed in fertile ground whose fruits will be the happy harvest of those who will come. And this
autobiographical chronology is a referential testimony of a personal miracle achieved with love
and total cleanliness.
Finally, I must anticipate that during this last period of my mature life, I will initiate a great
campaignof global artisticmobilizationto find people who love the basic arts and that they offer
me their generous participation and cooperation.
In the city of Arequipa,Peru,apilotinstitutionmustbe created or one that promotes new labors
that makes the arts sector immense in all its disciplines.
The Basic Arts have to be ineveryhousehold,and this new current of artistic inclusion must carry
as a motto: NEW ART TO FORM, EDUCATE AND GROW.
