Biography:  Renso Castaneda Zevallos

An artist from Peru. I started to paint a long time ago, I don't remember exactly when , what I remember is always there were paintings in my home…  why? My mother is an artist like my father, my uncle, my aunt,  unfortunately not too many people know about them.  It  was impossible to choose another thing to do.  I always enjoyed making copies from famous artists and now I like to do realistic paintings to imitate the texture of the skin, the shadows , the lights.   I feel a great satisfaction when I finish a painting, besides it is not a easy work to do.
