Description

Nazario Oreyai Urazayegua is an artist from the Urubichá village, in the Bolivian Amazon. He belongs to the ArteCampo association of indigenous artisans, and specialises in painting on wood.

Nazario’s triptychs are a fusion of the early European tradition, which provided their form, and the indigenous Guarayo culture, which inspired the colourful style and folk themes. The style is modern, even though it is deeply rooted in the traditional beliefs.

Nazario paints entirely from imagination and has developed a series of illustrations to different folk stories, in which animals and Guarayo beliefs play a central role.
