Ernesto Arrisueno

Ernesto Arrisueno was born in Lima, Peru, where he completed a Bachelor of Architecture, after receiving numerous prizes for architectural drawing. Moving to Australia in 1989, his work blends memories of the dry barren landscape of Peru with new visions drawn from Australian life. Figures and objects are juxtaposed with beautifully rendered building fragments. Concepts from his imagination are presented with the crisp reality of symbolic realism.
