The indians from Los Andes: Quechuas and Aymaras

On the left is Javicho, I met him and his brother Yerko in La Paz. We gave them some colours and pencils and we were drawing together at the little market where they worked everyday. They did really well. On the right is Rodrigo, a tireless little boy we use to play with in Potosí.


Here are Francisca and Mario H.H. She was selling oranges, lemons and peanuts to the travellers at La Quiaca bus terminal (Argentina-Bolivia border). Mario was a gentleman that we met in Cuzco. He asked me to make a portrait of him, "but it should be quickly" he said, and here it is. I made some more portraits during the trip but I always give them as a present...
