Roberto Carlos Imbacuan is a Putumayan artist from the Amazon.
He lives in Mocoa, Putumayo, Colombia, South America, and has spent his short existence painting and dancing as an artist.
From here, from this charming territory, he didn´t want to leave. He stays, making art, creating, paying tribute to the beauty of the territory, like our water sources, our water fountains, our water temples.
He grew up on the shores of the rivers, of the ravines, always in contact with the water, with the river.
And a long time ago I decided to transport them to a canvas with the painting because these places seem wonderful to me.
Through the canvas he can give a conservation message, water care, to not attack the water, the mountain, against birds, against life. Sometimes people in search of progress, to get more money, they forget of life and the house in which they live, so they attack nature.
The message through these artworks is to take care of her (nature), respect her, honor her and enjoy her healthily and preserve her just how she is, without mankind having to go and transform her, put their hand on everything. Let nature alone. She already made her own design.
He was born in Puerto Umbría, which is a municipality from the municipality of Villagarzón, neighbor here, in a township called Puerto Umbría. I am of peasant origin, my family lives in the paths, in the fields, more connected with the Pachamama.
Roberto belongs to the Pastos people. He is learning more and more, every day. The paintings themselves teach him. He creates them, but they also give back.
