About the artist: From early childhood, Gustavo Moncayo appreciated painting. Watching his parents painting was so natural in his home, it was only expected that he and his siblings were born to or would readily acquire artistic abilities in this environment, and also that they would have a talent for sculpturing, carving and other manual skills including carpentry, plumbing, and electrical work. Being the 5th of 7 children, 3 painters, he assimilated the characteristics of the style from his father and his brothers, although his painting mostly resembled that of his father, Hector. In school he was very talented in art and won provincial competitions every year, which recognition came in the form of diplomas, including once in 4th grade, when he won a Unicef-sponsored International Competition in which his works were sent to Japan, along with the works of other children from the world over. He started painting bullfighting motifs and later dedicated himself to landscapes. This is not to say that his exclusive work - on the contrary, the variety of works realized on his canvasses is quite extensive as he paints portraits, landscapes, still life, flowers, fruit, colonial scenes, seascapes and beaches, oriental or tropical jungles, daily life motifs, natives, faces of the elderly, children, etc., In the end, he paints whatever the client wishes for him to paint. Personally, he most enjoys painting horse scenes.

He moved to Southern California in 1960 and still calls it home today. Between 1960 and today, Carlo has traveled throughout the Southwestern United States and Mexico. For many years, he lived among the Navajo and Zunis, painting a great many surreal works that embodied their legends and outlook. He also spent 2 years in Mexico living among the Huichol people in the inaccessible mountains north of Tepic, painting the Indian religion and the white man's religion as seen through Huichol eyes.
