Wynnie Mynerva (b. 1992, Lima) is a visual artist currently living and working in Lima, Peru. Mynerva studied Art History at the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos and, afterwards, Fine Arts (Painting) at the Escuela Nacional Superior Autónoma de Bellas Artes del Peru.
By referencing historical and mythological iconography and echoing the methods and compositions of the Western Old Masters, Mynerva pays homage to the classical art education which shaped their practice, while also subverting the high-art traditions which have so long affirmed the white male figure in its position of power.
