Welcome - Fractal Dragon Art Gallery



We exhibit and sell contemporary Peruvian fine art in Cusco, Peru. Fractal Dragon Art Gallery (Galería del Arte Fractal Dragon) is both a simple virtual gallery and a physical art gallery near the Plaza de Armas of Cusco, Peru with over 180 square meters of exhibition space. Our artist in residence and director is Maria Elena Mendoza Altamirano who has shown, sold and taught art for 25 years. Through Elena's contacts in the art community, we've expanded the gallery’s offering to a broad sampling of contemporary artists throughout Peru and the rest of South America.

An advantage in having the art gallery in our own home at 175 Q’hapchikijllu (previously Calle Arequipa), is that we can hang artwork not only in the gallery space, but also in the corridors and balconies and every other space that is reasonably secure, protected from sunlight and the weather and not rented to another business.

The gallery shares space with artesanal stores and Two Nations Restaurant in the Tupac Inca Yupanqui Cultural Center at 159 Q’hapchikijllu. From the patio one can access both the ground and 2nd floor levels of the Fractal Dragon Art Gallery. We opened the ground floor of the physical gallery in April 2009 and expanded into large exhibition rooms on the 2nd floor in September 2009.

In November we showed work from Chaska, Constanza (Columbia), Clara and Xhiva (Bolivia) in combination with fusion performances combining traditional ceremonies, music and dance.

Now we are showing two South American artists Adyeé Torres from Cusco and Emilio HaroGalli from Argentina in the 2nd floor galleries along with works from Elena, Constanza and other South American artists in the 1st floor galleries.

We sell art through the physical gallery in Cusco as well as on-line. If you have questions concerning the gallery you may write an email to the director (see below to send email to the director). If you want to buy an artwork online, you can inquire via the buy artwork form.

The name fractal dragon is a mix of fantasy (dragon) and mathematics (fractal). This name appeals to our artists who see an internal unity, force or reason behind their art. The fractal dragon image that we use is taken from some far away cranny of the Mandelbrot set.
