History of Centro Selva
"In 1980, the year of my birth, the Riesco Lind family purchased the farm called La Molina in the Campo Verde district in the tropical rain forest of Peru. Later our family business of Margenes del Bosque originated on this land. Although our family farm operations continued, while I was still a child I left there to live in the USA and then Lima. In the last nine years my art has driven me back to revisit roots in Pucallpa. All my current art work connects in one way or another to this land or its people.
My six year bachelors degree is from La Catolica University in Lima with a specialization in Painting. My thesis was titled Shipibo–Conibo Survivors, artistic development and influences of a living culture, from drawing to painting. This thesis stu died the art development of the Shipibo-Conibo, a Central Amazonian native community.
My masters degree is from a cooperative program between Valand School of Fine Arts, Gothenburg University and the IT University, Chalmers University, in Sweden. I have family ties to Sweden, it was the land of my grandfather who left his homeland to live the rest of his life in the Peruvian tropical rainforest. My masters degree is in Fine Arts with Specialization in Digital Media and my thesis was titled: Legacy: a gift of property, a journey through the context of the artist and the art, which connected Amazon immigration to Sweden between 1973 and the present.
After finishing my studies I decided to come back to Peru and to Pucallpa where I worked for a time as an art teacher in the state art school Eduardo Mesa Saravia of Pucallpa, the main art school of this region. This experience heightened my aware- ness of the regional art culture and movement.
During my art studies I felt that the most enriching experiences have been the opportunity to experience art with others, sharing ideas and projects with fellow artists and people in general in a open, multidisciplinary atmosphere. This personal experience, combined with my life connection to the Amazon area is what initially inspired the program.
CS creates an international collaborative art residency program where locals and foreigners can gather and work on specific projects in an atmosphere of shared knowledge."

Historia de Centro Selva
"En 1980, el año de mi nacimiento, la familia Riesco Lind compró el
fundo llamado La Molina en el distrito del Campo Verde en la selva tropical de
Perú. Más adelante, nuestra empresa familiar de Márgenes del Bosque empezaría a
funcionar en estas tierras. Las operaciones de la granja familiar continuarán,
mientras mi familia y yo todavía siendo una niña nos fuéramos a vivir a los
EE.UU. y luego Lima. En los últimos nueve años, mi arte me ha regresado a mis
raíces en la selva tropical. Todo mi trabajo artístico actual tiene conexiones
estrechas con esta tierra y con su gente.
Estudié una licenciatura de seis años en La Universidad Católica de Lima, con
especialización en Pintura. Mi tesis se titulo Shipibo-Conibo sobrevivientes, desarrollo artístico e influencias de
una cultura viva, del dibujo
a la pintura. Esta tesis estudia el desarrollo del art de la comunidad
autóctona Shipibo- Conibo, comunidad de la selva central del Perú.
Hice mis estudios de maestría en Suecia en un programa que era una cooperación
entre la Escuela de Bellas Artes de Valand, Universidad de Gotemburgo y la Universidad de
IT, Universidad de Chalmers. Tengo vínculos familiares con Suecia, que era la
tierra de mi abuelo, que dejó su patria para vivir el resto de su vida en la
selva tropical peruana. Mi maestría en Bellas Artes con especialización en
Medios Digitales y mi tesis se tituló Legado: regalo de propiedad, un recorrido
por el contexto de la artista y el arte, que conecta inmigración amazónica a
Suecia entre 1973 y el presente.
Al terminar mis estudios de arte decido regresar a Perú y a Pucallpa donde
trabajo por un semestre como profesora de arte en la escuela Eduardo Meza
Saravia del Perú, principal escuela de arte en la región. Esta experiencia me
hiso mas consiente de la realidad del arte en la regional.
Durante mis estudios me he dado cuenta que algunas de las experiencias
artísticas más enriquecedoras han sido las posibilidades de experimentar arte
con otros, compartiendo ideas, proyectos con colegas artistas y personas en
general en un ambiente multidisciplinario abierto. Estas experiencias
personales combinado con mis conexiones con la Amazonía Peruana es lo que ha
inspirado la iniciación de este programa.
CS crea un programa de
residencias para artistas de colaboración internacional donde locales y
foráneos pueden reunirse y trabajar en proyectos específicos, en un ambiente de
conocimiento compartidos. "
