Peruvian artist LU.CU.MA spent 27 years in jail for the murder of his
brother, among other crimes. After his release, LU.CU.MA – short
for Luis Cuevas Manchego – swore to turn himself around. He traded the
machine guns, hand grenades and knives that he once used to ambush buses
for art supplies.
VICE travelled to Lima, Peru, to talk to LU.CU.MA about his life, how
he uses art as a way to repent, and why all his paintings involve things
like corrupt politicials being beheaded by snakes.
