Emillio Mancayo 1895-1970
Born in Quito Ecuador, in 1895 to Abelardo Mancayo ( Minister of Haciendas and Assessor to then President Eloy Alfaro) and margarita Moncayo. From a very young age, he was interested in art. Fed by his senses of aesthetics and love of nature, he caught unsuspecting Andean landscapes, painting the color and majesty in the different volcanoes and Andean pampas that reflected the indigenous culture. He never skimped in his effort to capture the beauty of his birth country. He painted that so well that in 1930 a stringent panel of judges presented him with the first prize "Mariano Aguilera" award.
