	Press Release
			Raised by his mother, and introduced to his love of art almost simultaneously with meeting his wife, it’s no surprise that Vacalla’s portraits so masterfully pay homage to women in various seasons of their lives and positions in society. The women in his body of work are painted with extraordinary grace and beauty and with great dedication to expression over detail. Though often painted against vibrant, mesmerizing backgrounds, Vacalla’s female subjects, especially his glorious nudes, remain the focal point throughout much of his work. Having converted to Christianity late in life, Vacalla’s portraits carry special spiritual significance for him. He approaches his work with a deep reverence, asserting that every stroke, color choice and concept is created for God. His subjects often assume meditative poses, as they sit in anticipation of birth, change and the fulfillment of expectations. Vacalla was born in Peru, but traveled often between his home country and the United States. He works primarily with oil on canvas and looks forward to exhibiting his work internationally.
