José Alfonso Sánchez Urteaga,1​ known as Camilo Blas (Cajamarca, March 19, 1903 - Lima, July 26, 1985), was a Peruvian indigenist painter.

 

Biography

 

Camilo Blas had Ana María Siles as his wife and his daughters are Elena, Hilda, Berta and Gabriela. Since childhood he showed his artistic spirit through drawings and sketches. Thanks to the support of his uncle, the Cajamarca artist Mario Urteaga, he took his first steps in painting.

 

He entered the National University of Trujillo to study Law, a career that he completed. He did his art studies at the National School of Fine Arts in Lima under the direction of Daniel Hernández and later with José Sabogal. His classmates included Ricardo Flórez, Camino Brent and Julia Codesido. From 1933, he was a professor of fine arts for many years and then Director of the School of Fine Arts in Lima.

 

With a refined style, within the indigenist current, he knew how to add a touch of subtlety and color of his own to his drawings.

 

Due to the large number of Peruvian costumbrist drawings that his works present, both from Cajamarca and from all of Peru, he is also considered the "Pancho Fierro serrano".
