About Me

I was born in Peru and since late 80’s I’ve been working as a missionary in the Amazon region.I felt a mystical connection during my very first trip to the Amazon and the complexity of its tropical forests. I think every artist needs to find out what really inspires him and feed off it as much as he can. He needs to find his subjects and for me are the landscapes, the local people and the Indians. Here I’ll post my soft pastels and later, my oils and drawings about the region.

My daughter just returned from the Amazon - a place she was very impressed with. I think these images will trigger fond memories for her.

Gorgeous Ivo! Pastels are the medium of a master, in my opinion, anyway!

I love the realism that you portray in your work, it seems to transport you to the time and the moment of the pose, as if you are there in person seeing it for yourself. Excellent work.

Hello Ivo Santoro ..... I am happy to find you liking my works. Your life-experience says that I have something similar to you. I started my job life in a tribal belt in the hilly North-East region of India. Your works are so genuine. Cheers.
