José Luis Carranza (Lima, 1981) is a leading Peruvian artist known for his intense, expressionist paintings, where distorted human figures, animals and chaotic landscapes collide. His work delves into fear, violence, the unconscious and the fraught relationship between humanity and nature.

With a visceral, symbolically charged and highly dramatic style, Carranza creates scenes that are as unsettling as they are compelling, establishing him as one of the most powerful voices in contemporary Peruvian art.
