Raul Ulloa Baylon

Raul Ulloa Baylon, born in San Pedro de Cajas on May 15, 1973, masterfully captures Andean culture in his work. After secondary school, he dedicated his energy to painting, finally cultivating the latent talent and imprecise skills of a self-taught artist. He felt the desire to strengthen his oil painting technique, and decided to go to the School of Fine Arts in the Prisma Cultural Center, where he distinguished himself through combining techniques and textures and discovering innovative ways to apply oil paints.

Ulloa grew up in the country and lived close to Tarma, which sits at nearly 10,000 feet above sea level in the central Andes of Peru, a region considered the "cradle of flowers." The incredible beauty of this area inspires his works to this day, as can be seen in his frequent portrayal of flowers, small streets, and Andean highland churches. His self-compelled dedication today attracts wide public appreciation, and Ulloa often participates in gallery exhibits.
