Gonzalo Torrico Prado

Cochabamba, Bolivia, 1956 — Mexico City, 2015. He studied at the Cochabamba school of fine arts between 1973 and 1977. In the early 1980s he left Bolivia, persecuted by the dictatorship — his paintings on the massacre of November 1979 had been shut down — and settled in Mexico, where he lived for nearly thirty years. He worked in oil, watercolour and acrylic: indigenous and mestizo figures of Mexico, still lifes and flowers.
