He belongs to the Aymenu clan of the Huitoto group. In 2003 he came to Lima for the first time. His father, the painter and sculptor Santiago Yahuarcani, was invited to impart workshops as part of the exhibition Serpiente de Agua. Instead, he decided to send his son. This opportunity would change Rember Yahuarcani’s perspective on his life and artwork. This article explores Rember Yahuarcani’s art practice and the creation of his own pictorial vocabulary based on his traditions, his artistic explorations, and his new experiences. The article also analyzes Yahuarcani’s discourse and performance in making himself a contemporary artist, and his receptivity in the Limeño art scene.
