Sonia Falcone was born in Bolivia and moved to the United States at a young age. As a child, she first held aspirations of becoming a dentist, although she eventually decided her passion was in art. Falcone is known for her vibrant and colorful creations that express her spirituality through Bolivian symbols such as snowy Andean peaks and llamas. A former Miss Bolivia, Falcone’s art has enjoyed significant international success, some of which is on display at LORCA Café in Santa Cruz. In her free time she works to improve health and education for disadvantaged latino communities in the United States.

4. Roberto Valcarcel
University
A renowned painter, writer and intellectual, Roberto Valcarcel was born in La Paz in 1951 and studied visual communication in Germany before moving back to Bolivia. He is a rather eccentric man in both his work and his personality, painting in an experimental style which incorporates recycled materials and preferring to use a toolbox instead of a briefcase in his day to day life. Valcarcel currently resides in Santa Cruz where we works as a university professor.
