Jose Angel Pahuamba Art

Mexican, b. 1978
Loyal to his origins, Pahuamba creates pieces composed of analysis and social criticism of his native village. With humor, irony, and sarcasm, he tells us stories of everyday life in Cherán, Michoacán. Masks are an element often shown in his artwork, with playfulness and even irony to express strength and traditions that enhance their cultural identity as an indigenous village. Pahuamaba has a degree in Visual Arts. He has worked with recognized artists like Ismael Guardado, Pedro Ascencio, Nunik Sauret and Beatriz Gaminde, and others. His artworks has been exhibited individually in galleries in CDMX, Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato, Chile, New York and Michoacán. Author of the book "Between colors, lines, and monkeys". Didactic guide of plastic arts for children. And author of the murals Lucha entre aztecas y purepechas (Fundación FORNESA, Morelia, Michoacán), La Fiesta del Maíz (Baltimore Maryland, USA) and Principio y fin (Valparaíso, Chile). He has been awarded the Acquisition Award of the State Watercolor Salon in 2005 and 2011; Acquisition Prize in the “Efraín Vargas” State Painting and Stamp Contest in 2009; Fellow of the State Co-investment Program. In 2011 he received an honorable mention at the “Alfredo Zalce” National Biennial.
