Statement
Pedro Peralta's work is located within the aesthetic of magical realism, always trying to geographically locate his characters within South America. Therefore, it uses a look of tribute to the artists of the five great art schools, they allow not only complicit winks with the viewer but also new readings from a singular imaginary.
