Biography: Born to a Japanese father and a Peruvian mother, Arturo Kubotta studied at the National School of Fine Arts in Lima from 1953 to 1960, and upon completion was awarded the Grand Prize of Honor and the Gold Medal. In Lima he participated in various exhibitions, as well as in major international biennials such as the I and II Youth Biennial in Paris, France (1959 and 1961), and in group exhibitions presented in Mexico (1960) and Santiago, Chile (1961). He later obtained a three-month scholarship in Brazil sponsored by the Itamaraty Cultural Agreement (1962). He won the prestigious Fulbright scholarship, which led him to the United States, where he even exhibited in Washington in 1962 and Chicago in 1963. He also held a scholarship at SAIC (The School of the Art Institute of Chicago) from 1962 to 1964, graduating with honors and a Master of Fine Arts in Graphic Arts. After a brief stay in Lima, he decided to settle permanently in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where he studied design and became involved in Brazilian painting, where he exhibited frequently and achieved renown. He frequently visited Lima to exhibit his recent works, whose style evolved from realism to abstraction and is characterized by a variety of textures and subtle colors suggesting vast spaces, which have included references to surrealism. During a visit to Lima in 1966, he participated in the 1st Painting and Sculpture Salon of the alumni of the National School of Fine Arts, where he won first prize.
