His official art training took place at Bellas
Artes, Carlos Baca Flor of Arequipa. Julian began work in the commercial
field for a large Peruvian
department store
upon graduation. Lacking fulfillment, he returned to his former school Bella
Artes to continue his education. Upon return to school, Soncco was selected to
work with two well-known Peruvian television stars. The work involved set design & building
for television programming as they traveled throughout Peru. The experience exposed
him to the exquisite beauty of the country, which eventually became his inspiration.
Julian used watercolor to capture his travels. His innate curiosity
and interest in art took him to both North and South America. Among the
cities
visited were
New York, NY, Bogata, Columbia, and Mexico City. Mexico City became his home
for ten years, and it was here that he earned three national watercolor awards,
naturally enhancing his international reputation.
Although Soncco paints primarily
in watercolor, he began five years ago doing works in oil as well.
Taking much of his inspiration from
the nostalgic scenes
in his native village in Peru, he is also a dedicated artist who enjoys painting
landscapes.
Julian Soncco currently resides in Scottsdale, Arizona, where
the impressive desert scenes that surround him are naturally influencing
him.
