I create art to showcase natural and man-made forms, designs and colors. To show the natural and the artificial coexisting. It's a passion.

Hello! My name is Cayo. I 'm from Perú, I have lived in Los Angeles since 2018. I am an amateur photographer. My favorite art is the Phototography.
Where do you find inspiration?My passion for photography was born in my childhood, sparked by the magazine images my father used to pin to the walls of our home. Many years later, the work of Peruvian photographer Alejandro Balaguer—along with the images found in *National Geographic* magazine—encouraged me to buy a camera. I find inspiration in the landscapes I encounter while traveling—in trees, flowers, and sunsets. I also find it in architecture, city streets and on people's faces to create portraits with my camera.
What would you do with $25,000?1- I want to buy a special wheelchair for my niece in Perú. She was born with muscular paralysis. 2- Buy a used car for my wife to get to work. We currently get a round by bus and train in the city of L.A. 3- Buy a wide-angle lens for my DSLR camera.
