Biography
Hello, my name is Gianni. I was lucky to be born and grow up in the Andes. I believe in Pachamama, Mother Earth. I think we come from it and go back to it. I believe in the Apus, our grandparents the mountains. I believe in offerings — I feel they are important for life.
I'm always interested in resorting to the essence: observing simplicity, looking deep, talking slowly, understanding history, traveling the unknown, breathing with confidence. I am interested in the ancestral consciousness of indigenous peoples, their worldview of life, their respect for the land, for the health of our rivers and seas, for biodiversity.
I fully believe that respect for land and water, as an essential source of life, is something that should be cultivated throughout the world. I try, with my work, to sow that seed.
