FROM THE SERIE OF VIVENCIAS
In each of my works, I strive to capture the essence of our land and our people. Through this expressionist piece, part of the Vivencias series, I convey the strength, color, and identity of our roots, telling the stories that beat in the daily life of Guatemala. Every brushstroke and color is a testament to the life, faith, and hope that sustain us as a people.
ARTISTIC DECLARATION
Technique: Acrylic on canvas.
The color overlay and impasto in this work reflect the insistence of the traditional Indumentaria (traditional dress, textil dress from Guatemala) clockwise, a persistent waiting for something new, like a thick layer of color that becomes a stroke of life itself. The contrasting colors, shifting from darkness into light, symbolize the hope sought with faith and the relentless search that begins at dawn.
The continuous lines, in soft and bold colors that flow throughout the painting, represent the thread of connection that binds us to our ancestors and our roots, carrying forward into new generations.
THE windows and horizontal and vertical spaces within the composition reflect the narrow limitations and opportunities each life encounters.
The vibrant colors stand out, weaving together and unifying the strength of culture. They speak to the veracity and resilience of the Guatemalan spirit, which bursts forth with identity and strength, overcoming any adversity.
This painting becomes a living testimony to the unbreakable bond between past and present, a reminder that even in narrow spaces, color and faith can bloom, giving form and voice to the soul of a people.
