Christian de Samaipata
When I met with
I met Christian in Samaipata, before talking to him, I saw him several times, after all, Samaipata is a very small town.
I had heard many versions about who he is, what he does, how he lives, etc. As always, I find it hard to retain that information, it doesn’t really interest me.
When I finally spoke with him, he seemed like someone with a lot of life and many wounds, taking refuge in his art, in his lifestyle, a troubled father, but on his path.
It is difficult to fully understand people, and sometimes, it is even more difficult to understand people who do not live by conventional patterns like Christian, living on the streets, in the spaces where he can set up his tent and paint his canvases, looking for money for paint, coca leaves or some food and well, not much more.
An interesting character, at this moment I don’t know what happened to his life, I wish him the best.
