Patricia Henricy Cruzalegui

Peru  • 1954

Self-taught painter, she cultivates the Naif style.

She was born in Lima, Peru on May 16, 1954.

She reveals her creative temperament by drawing and painting horses, which she did with passion until the age of 21 when a riding accident took her away from horses and discovered the Andean universe with all its cultural richness, during a first trip to Cuzco.

This is how this unrepentant traveler begins her journey through the towns of the Andes, in love with its landscapes and its people, capturing customs and festivals in colorful paintings.

Shortly after her first trip to Cuzco, Patricia went to Tarma, in the central highlands, it was during this trip that the painter decided to stay in Tarma, where she lived for three years.


From Tarma she travels in the jungle where she is captivated by the exuberance of the jungle, there are few paintings from this period since the theme of the mountain predominates at this stage of her life. Later, the Amazon rainforest gains strength in his painting, after a trip to the Tambopata reserve.

In 1983, Patricia traveled to Portland, Oregon, USA, where she studied the human figure, ceramics, and various printmaking techniques at the Pacific Northwest College of Art.

It was in Portland that Patricia reiterated the success of her first show by selling 90% of her first show in Oregon on the night of the opening of her first show at the Folk Craft Art Gallery.

Soon after, Patricia won a scholarship to study art at the Cooper Union School of Art in New York.

The Cooper Foundation It has three schools, art, engineering, architecture. All students get scholarships, they come in because of their talent. The students enjoy constant support from the school in every way, the foundation enjoys an excellent reputation

The painter describes the time she lived in New York as fascinating.

However, the nostalgia for the land is stronger and Patricia returns to Peru, to its long-awaited mountains. It is here that the painter finds the Amazonian exuberance in the Reserve of Tambopata, but it is not only the landscape that attracts him but its inhabitants and its mysticism.

Here he makes contact with local healers, who enrich his vision of the jungle.

The Amazonian landscapes will appear long later in his paintings, legends and myths integrated into the green exuberance enriching the result.

From Tarma to today, Patricia has traveled a large part of the national territory collecting the Andean landscape on her paintings. Currently, the painter resides in Lima after having lived for five years in a fishing village in northern Peru, Màncora, in search of new landscapes for her paintings, thus completing her journey through Peru, the coast, the Sierra and the jungle.

On December 14, 1976, Patricia Henricy's first solo exhibition opened in what was then the best art gallery in Lima.

In less than two hours, 19 canvases were sold on the opening night, becoming overnight the country's youngest successful painter, Patricia was 22 years old.

From there it would all be traveling and painting for this talented and courageous painter who has traveled alone throughout most of Peru, many times on dilapidated buses that traverse Peru's rugged geography.

Patricia remembers that when she was a child, the servants, almost always of Andean origin, told her stories of their life in the fields, of the vaquitas, of the lambs, of the sowing, of the harvests. Perhaps this is how he learned to love the Andes, the truth is that when he traveled to the mountains for the first time he felt he was returning to something very dear, in a place he had never been before ... he wanted a place that I did not know.

Currently, the painter resides in Lima, Peru and continues to travel ...

The painting "Carnival Vilcaìno" represents one of the most interesting journeys that the painter made in the interior of the country.

In 2011, with a group of Backpackers Club friends, Patricia walked through the wonderful landscapes of the Nor-Yauyos Cochas Landscape Reserve, a place where there are many snow-capped mountains, lagoons and rivers whose waters are steep. of a magical aquamarine color.

Also archaeological remains and remains of worship at the great Apu Pariacacca, a beautiful snow-capped mountain venerated in the time of the Incas.

It is these landscapes, the people of the Andes and the local customs that give life to Patricia's paintings, it is a testament to life in the Andes of Peru.
