About the artist:
From early childhood, Gustavo Moncayo appreciated painting. Watching his
parents painting was so natural in his home, it was only expected that he and
his siblings were born to or would readily acquire artistic abilities in this
environment, and also that they would have a talent for sculpturing,
carving and other manual skills including carpentry, plumbing, and electrical work.
Being the 5th of 7 children, 3 painters, he assimilated the characteristics
of the style from his father and his brothers, although his painting
mostly resembled that of his father, Hector.
In school he was very talented in art and won provincial competitions every
year, which recognition came in the form of diplomas, including once in
4th grade, when he won a Unicef-sponsored International Competition in which
his works were sent to Japan, along with the works of other children from the world over.
He started painting bullfighting motifs and later dedicated himself to landscapes.
This is not to say that his exclusive work - on the contrary, the variety of
works realized on his canvasses is quite extensive as he paints portraits,
landscapes, still life, flowers, fruit, colonial scenes, seascapes and beaches, oriental
or tropical jungles, daily life motifs, natives, faces of the elderly, children, etc.,
In the end, he paints whatever the client wishes for him to paint.
Personally, he most enjoys painting horse scenes. less
