Morante
|
Morante was
born in Peru in 196. As the daughter of a professional jockey and because of
her father's absolute dedication to horses she held contempt to anything
related. This conflict was sufficiently intense to threaten even the state of
her father's marriage. However, at the age of 14 her attitude completely
reversed and the horse became the center of her life. She attempted to pursue a
career as a jockey, but to no avail. With no clear direction after high school,
she met a horse portrait artist with whom she began working and this proved to
be the start of an important and long-lasting friendship. After first assisting
him in his work, she eventually began contributing directly through the
application of under-painting. Realizing Gladys' potential, her new-found mentor
advised her to join the School of Arts and she followed his advice, graduating
with honors. Morante has participated in numerous exhibitions including several
held at prestigious locations such as the Embassy of Spain, the United States
Embassy, El Museo de la Nación, Galeria Borkas and the Russian Cultural
Institute.
