Raised in close proximity to shimmering Lake Titicaca, the striking beauty of the Andes and the awe-inspiring Incan ruins of his ancestors, Apomayta is spiritually compelled to express his wonder visually through his paintbrush.


Apomayta has derived inspiration from his own native tribal influences and culture heritage as well as those that he has personally experienced and studied in other ancient cultures like China and Mexico. He speaks eight languages, holds a masters in Pre-Columbian art history and is an internationally recognized authority on Chinese art.

Through the assimilation of other cultures, traditions and lifestyles, Apomayta has developed his own magnificent style that expresses the side-by-side harmony of East meeting West, past meeting present, nature meeting industrialization—a style that has gained him international acclaim. Apomayta expresses the urge of his spirit through watercolors, oils, natural inks, acrylics and charcoal applied to textured paper, rice paper, silk and the walls of structures
