The Peruvian jungle is an endless source of images and characters. “Amazonistas” is a book that brings together the works of 23 artists who, in their own style, represented various stories of the Amazon.

Christian Bendayán, one of the Peruvian plastic artists most identified with the visual culture of the Amazon, gathers in this book the work of 23 national and foreign artists, who present their visions of this region of Peru, avoiding stereotypes and prejudices deeply rooted in our society.

The graphic approach, therefore, deployed an aesthetic of cosmopolitan elegance, but anchored in its culture, with the intention of moving away as much as possible from the overused exotic caricature of the strident jungle.
