Amauta Shilon Studio

In 1968, thanks to the collaboration of:

Rene' Olivares, Eugenio Garcia, Stefano Leoni and John Flores (yourstruly),

was born...

The talents of four artists, a painter, a graphic designer and two photographers, at the cutting edge of the times... Living as communal family reflecting different cultures living together, we impacted the local (Roman) scene enough for a national magazine (Ciao 2001) to run a feature article about us in 1969.

	Our main accomplishments were with The Piper Club of Rome. Promotional posters and flyers... Stage costumes for the band 'The Pipers', a record cover for a 45 rpm by Mal (Mal & The Primitives) released on the Piper Club label... and slides for the in-house nightly slide show.

Amauta Shilon , a unique experience that unfortunately lasted only two years, 'til my departure for the US in 1970. It created life-long friendships that still manage to keep in touch, even though continents apart. . . . Photographs by Stefano Leoni
