Nadir Alzamora, known artistically as Ridan, was born in Lima, Peru. He later moved to Piura, where he formed a deep connection with the town of Yapatera-Chulucanas — a place that would play a significant role in shaping his artistic vision. From an early age, Ridan felt a profound bond with nature, which continues to be the central theme of his work. Through his art, he explores the essence of the places he encounters, transforming them into a unique visual language of color, shape, and symbol. His work reflects a journey — both geographic and emotional — grounded in observation, memory, and transformation.
