Lobsang Melendez Ahuanari is a visionary young artist born in Pucallpa, in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon. His passion for art was ignited at the age of 12, when he was introduced to drawing and painting by a college professor.​At just 16 years old, in 2011, he was admitted to the Escuela Superior de Formación Artística Eduardo Meza Saravia in his hometown, where he began formal training in the arts.During his sixth academic term, Lobsang developed a deep interest in Amazonian medicinal plants. This passion inspired the focus of his thesis and marked the beginning of his journey as a visionary artist.​Drawing from his research and academic foundation, Lobsang began creating artworks inspired by the rich medicinal traditions of the Amazon.

“My aim is to capture my inner inspiration in the moment—allowing spontaneity to guide each brushstroke, each form, each figure... I want to share the pure essence of my experience with all those who feel a connection to it.”

While deeply rooted in Neo-Amazonian culture, Lobsang’s art is also shaped by diverse influences gathered through his travels, encounters, and evolving life awareness. As a result, his work continues to grow and transform.
