Lastenia Canayo, also known as Pecon Quena in the language of the Shipibo-Conibo, was born and raised in the native community of Roaboya on the banks of the lower Ucayali River. Her name in the Shipibo language, «the one who calls to the colors», refers to her artistic abilities for the ceramic and textile crafts she produces. Her unique paintings and embroidery represent animals and plants together with their spirits, yoshín (a bad spirit) or íbo (a good spirit) where the spirit occupies the main portion of the painting.
Her paintings have also drawn international recognition and were selected amongst a range of works by other Amazonian artists and artisans for a UNESCO sponsored contest. This new artistic creation, very rich and original, can be seen as that of an artist who has inherited an ancient artistic tradition, an ancient animist culture, and an uncommon talent and imagination.
El Dueño del Pájaro Picaflor is similar to a lady yet her body is the same as a human's but with distinct features. It is said that she prepares perfumes of all flowers and they ensure that no one would hate upon your family and friends, and that's why she goes everywhere and people treat her well.
