(b. Lima, Peru 1992) emigrated with his parents and sister to the United States in 2003. He currently lives in Brooklyn, New York, and places an intimate appreciation of nature at the forefront of his aesthetic principles. Kevin pursued his academic studies at the Grand Central Atelier (GCA), New York, where he spent four years studying empirical methods of drawing and seeing with an emphasis on the human figure and the physics of light. Following the completion of his studies in 2017, Kevin spent a year working inside the studio of Jacob Collins, Director of the GCA and a leading figure in the contemporary revival of the classical tradition. This experience further encouraged Kevin’s engagement in a philosophy deeply linked to the practice of working from life. His work has been exhibited across New York, and forms part of private collections around the world. He has been a participant of the Hudson River Fellowship, and has received numerous awards, including those of the Grand Central Atelier, as well as the

Portraiture: Structure and Form
“Drawing is perhaps one of the prehistoric means of expression that has endured throughout history as a universal practice for representing nature. Throughout its evolution, this practice has gone hand in hand with the growth of humankind, has taken root in civilizations, survived the fiercest wars, and during the last century was relegated to a kind of esoteric, ancient, and in some circles, futile exercise.
This course is an amendment. Designed to establish concepts of observation that trace their lineage from the 19th century to the Renaissance, and even further back, some ideas originating in Greco-Roman antiquity. Although the dialogue will be guided by the face, the drawing techniques we will discuss can be applied to any subject. Over five days, participants will use graphite to analyze the incidence of light on dimensional space.
We will adopt a purely systematic approach to constructing the anatomy of the head. The class will conclude with a drawing that effectively expresses the illusion of three-dimensionality, in addition to the skeletal and structural design of the model.”
