"Yo respeto todavía al artista, como este muchacho Villanes que es capaz de coger un machete y trazar un jaguar, a machetazos
¿Te das cuenta?"

"I like rendering amazonian animals, like serpents and jaguars, with incisions of knives and machetes on wet paint. I
developed
this technique watching some styles of the precolumbian art of
my native Peru, specially the ceramics decorated with incisions
from the old Chavin civilization. I am also inspired by the symbols
traced on the wet shore by amazonian shamans in trance. The sensation of a wet trace is always present in my paintings."

"Depending on the angle from which the painting is seen and the
reflections created by the light, these painted surfaces look to me
like nocturnal reflections on the water, paw prints on the wet shore
of a river, or the scales of a serpent; which is to say, the mind
experiences layers of perception, a sedimentation of traces."
Manuel
Munive, ArtMotiv, 2007.
