Original Paintings

These paintings are created by children who live in the communities located five hours by boat from Iquitos, Peru. The Yarapa School of Art is a program of Comunidad Tawantinsuyu and seeks to help Amazonian children develop their abilities and creativity through painting. They also learn to value their ancestral knowledge of the use of natural tints from the jungle plants and to conserve their natural jungle environment.

Children are invited to attend the three-month program. Overtime, the children progress through three levels of achievement. At the first level, they learn to observe nature and paint landscapes of the Amazonian Jungle using acrylic paint on cardboard. Those who complete the first level move on to research the use of natural tints they make from area plants and use to paint on llanchama, a paper made from tree bark. At the third level, the children learn to make their own paper using organic materials from the area.

One Heart Many Rhythms is one of the sponsors of this program and your purchase of a painting will directly benefit the child artist and the Yarapa School of Art.

All the paintings have been sold. Check back at a later time to review new paintings received from the school.
