Gonzalo Amancha (Ambato, 1948) is an Ecuadorian master watercolor painter. ==Biography== Amancha began painting and drawing at the age of 5. He got his first job as an artist at the age of 10, when his uncle, who was a painter, took him to Guayaquil to work for Virgilio Jaime Salinas who was well known for creating the first "Juan Pablo" (a comic strip character famous in Guayaquil). He would apply India ink to Salina's drawings for which he got paid 100-120 sucres per week. At the age of 16 he painted the mural for the Loans Bank of Ambato. He earned a Fine Art's degree from the Central University of Ecuador. He has an art gallery in Guayaquil, in the neighborhood Las Peñas, on the historic street named Numa Pompilio Llona, where he keeps his paintings and sculptures. Amancha paints for about 16–18 hours per day. Since the beginning of his art career, he has done close to 7,000 paintings. He has worked with oil, acrylic, pastel, carbon and pencil, but mainly paints with watercolor. He has shared exhibitions with world-renowned artists from Ecuador such as Oswaldo Guayasamín, Eduardo Kingman, Bolívar Mena Franco, and Anibal Villacis. He has also done individual exhibitions in Quito, Guayaquil, Ambato, Colombia, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Washington, New York, Miami, Madrid, and France, among many other places.〔(Gonzalo Amancha, con el arte en las venas ), La Hora, November 11, 2013〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gonzalo Amancha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
