Once this is sold it cannot be ordered again. The hand applied texture and accents are impossible to appreciate without seeing it in person. I guarantee that the painting is better than the photo.

Artist’s Biography
Abelardo Marquez Velásquez
Born in Lima, Peru in 1942,
Velasquez is one of the best-known and most prolific painters Peru has ever
produced. He studied painting at the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes along
with several well-known artists. He rejected the euphoria for
"modern" painting and had to abandon his studies against his will. He
also defied the traditional promotional system not participating from
exhibitions he was specially invited to and selling his paintings out of his
atelier. Despite his sense of rebellion, he is one of the best-loved artists
because of his friendly character. Most of the artists interested in
traditional painting have participated from his atelier. In several cases he has
opted not to charge the student for his classes if the student could not afford
it. Velásquez has created his own world and environment, where he does what he
loves to do without compromising.
