STATEMENT FROM THE ARTISIT: “I was born in San Miguel Acatan, Guatemala and I spent my childhood and part of my youth there and in which I finished my high school. In 2009 I moved to the USA, it was a challenge because I had to adapt learning the language and the laws. My dream has always been to be a professional architect, chef or painter, but due to resources I never achieved it, although I continue to practice my career as a painter and have learned over the years by reading, watching, observing and listening to other artists. I currently have my art studio in Sioux Falls. I dedicate myself to oil painting, I do portraits, landscapes and others. on Thursdays I attend drawing sessions. I like to paint sunsets because of the light contrast it offers.”
