About USKO-Ayar art School and Pablo Amaringo legacy.

USKO-Ayar was an institution devoted to the rescue and preservation of the knowledge and the traditions of the indigenous people of the Peruvian Amazon. Their art is a documentation of the flora, fauna, and culture of the Amazon, and it promotes and preserves the traditional knowledge of medicinal and other plants of this region.

The Usko-Ayar Amazonian School of Painting was created in 1988 through a collaboration of Peruvian painter and Shaman, Pablo Amaringo, and the Colombian anthropologist Luis Eduardo Luna and his wife, Sirpa Rasanen. More than 700 children had been educated until the death of Pablo Amaringo in 2009.

Currently the legacy artistic, human and philosophic of the Master Pablo Amaringo is transmitted to the new Amazonian generations through his former disciples.
