Harry Pinedo (born in 1988) is a teacher and visual artist who lives in Lima. His Indigenous Shipibo name is Inin Metsa (Fragrant Leaves). Pinedo completed a bachelor in Educacion Intercultural Bilingue (Bachelor of Intercultural Bilingual Education) at the Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia. A painter like his parents Elena Valera (Indigenous name: Bahuan Jisbe) and Roldán Pinedo (Indigenous name: Shoyan sheca), Pinedo has devoted himself to his art since finishing secondary school. He presents his paintings each year at the Peruvian Ministry of Culture's folk art fair Rurak maki and has taken part in collective and held solo exhibitions since 2010. The most important of these include MIRA! – Artes Visuales Contemporáneas de los Pueblos Indígenas in Belo Horizonte in Brazil in 2013, El esplendor de Yanapuma im Centro Colich de Barranco in Lima in 2017, and New Generation in the Galerie d'Art Maggy Stein in Luxembourg in 2022.
