Roberto Mamani Mamani

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Roberto Mamani Mamani is an Aymaran artist from Bolivia. His work is significant in its use of Aymaran indigenous tradition and symbols. His art has been exhibited around the world, including shows in Washington, D.C., Tokyo, Munich, and London ^[1].

Mamani Mamani's paintings draw upon his Aymaran heritage, and include colorfully stylized images of indigenous mothers, condors, suns, and moons, among other themes. His use of indigenous symbols is especially significant in the South American context where indigenous cultures have been viewed as inferior to European culture.
