DENIS GUERRA AMARINGO: I am Peruvian and I have been born On December 25, 1969. I come from a humble family and my parents are Maeo Antonio Guerra Rifos and Francisco Amaringo Shuna. I am the second one of my family and in total we are seven, all of us born in Pucallpa or Red Earth as in Quechua language means.
"Since my childhood I worked hard because my parents got separated and we did not have my father's help and I grew together with my mother thanks to God because I became strong for my mother. She was working very hard, too, for giving us our daily food and she was teaching us how to work and to do the best. My studies I began in the school Ng 64006; 1979-84, on which I was one of the best students in Literature and Art.
"When I was 19, I have got a wife with a lady from Lima and we have 4 children and we are happy. I did not have any interest in continuing practicing painting but I thank to my uncle Pablo Amaringo who always said to me you most practice more on painting. I was more interested about parties, football which is my favorite sport, that I did not care about it; so the time was passing so fast that a certain day my cousin Juan Visquez said to me that I am going to help and teach to you painting.
"So I started to practice on painting again - to that I am very glad and happy painting about nature. A year and 11 months that I am doing painting and I have participated in some exhibitions in Peru and abroad. By painting I am discovering that we must not destroy jungle - neither the wild animals - and I know many varieties of trees that are used in folk medicine to cure illnesses and I know how to prepare some typical food and drinks of very good taste. I like art and I am doing my best for the amazonian culture.
