After Ricardo Pérez Alcalá
Ricardo Pérez Alcalá (1939-2013) was a Bolivian artist considered to be one of the best aquarellist of Latin America,  born in Potosí, Bolivia. 
In his later years he stated: 'I used to paint what I saw, I now paint what I imagine', very close to my own perception of 'not WHAT I see but HOW I see it'
