Micaela Flores Amaya (1938 – 3 January 2025), better known by the stage name La Chunga, was a Spanish flamenco dancer, and painter of naïf art.

[1] Micaela Flores Amaya was born in Marseille, France, in 1938, although the exact date of her birth remains unknown.

[2] La Chunga became the 'muse' of several writers, including Blas de Otero, Rafael Alberti, José Manuel Caballero Bonald, and León Felipe, as well as several painters, including Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, and the aforementioned Francisco Rebés, who made her an attractive character for intellectuals and encouraged her to paint.

A 1958 photo shows Salvador Dalí inviting her to make art by dancing on a blank canvas.

La Chunga married director José Luis Gonzalvo, and they had a daughter, Pilar.
