Precolombino Series

This series evokes the dreams and memories of Soriano's native Cuzco and the Andean geography, source of his inspiration and artistic creation. His years of residence in Cuenca, Quito and now Ambato, have contributed to his formation as an authentic artist of the Andes.

Soriano's canvases reflect the intense light of the Andes, and show us vivid and variegated constructions of houses, temples and buildings in constant motion. He expresses himself in vivid colors, predominantly red, blue and yellow; a chaotic display but strangely harmonious and balanced. The religious element is always strongly present, evoking the symbiosis between our indigenous culture and that of the Spanish.

With this new series, Soriano breaks, although with a certain timidity, with one part of his past work, showing us a more daring reality of daily religious and Andean life. We can say that Soriano continues the incessant search for perfection in his art.
