Biography
Polanco is an artist with a social commitment. Polanco gained a scholarship to study in China, where he remained for a considerable time. Then, he went to Peru with a new shrill and shining, but tender painting style. Polanco is a cartoonist of contemporary Latin American society, portraying survivors of the urban fight, becoming the winners of the social battle. In Peruvian expresionismo indigenista art history, Polanco is continuing the path of painters like Julia Codesido, Sérvulo Gutiérrez, Víctor Humareda and David Herskovitz.
