Trajectory:

In 1973 Estremadoyro entered the school of Fine Arts in his native city with the highest grade. A year later he decided to leave the school to start investigating on his own the art of the Old Masters. In 1981 he exhibited for the first time at an international level, representing Peru in the IV Biennial in Medellin, Colombia, where the critics recognized him among the most important Latin American figurative painters. In 1982 he represented Peru again in the Pan American Graphic Arts Program (AGPA) sponsored by Cartón y Papel de México, in Mexico City. In 1989 he won the painting prize for the celebration of the Bicentennial of the French Revolution, and in 1990 he traveled to France, invited as a professor at the \'École Nationale des Beaux-Arts\' in Paris, where he lived most of the decade of the nineties.

At present he lives and works in Lima, Peru. In his latest works Estremadoyro has been experimenting with the possibilities of new technologies to compose his oil paintings.
