Peru

(1977 - )
Tadeo Zavaleta De La Barra. Tadeo is a Peruvian artist born Tadeo Zavaleta de la Barra in 1977. As part of an artistic legacy, his father is considered one of the greatest Peruvian artists. His father told him that the human body represented both the greatest difficulties but at the same time, the greatest achievements in art. Thus, he pursued figurative art drawing and painting at the young age of seven years old. In his work, he is striving to, "understand the ambiguities of the human nature". At 18, Tadeo enrolled in his country's prestigious School of Fine Arts, becoming the first student invited to participate in the Quimera 99 Exhibit in Mexico (where he is highly regarded as one of the best artist from South America). He is distinguished as being one of the few artists to be accepted to present his work aboard the ships of Disney Cruise Lines.
