Banana Republic es una obra realizada en el año 2020. Primera obra de la coleccion "Fruta Amarga". La obra contiene la controversial y deplorable obra de Maurizio Cattelan llamada: "Comediante" combinada con una etiqueta de Chiquita Banana. con un mapa de Guatemala de fondo. No hay mas que decir. Ahí esta todo, porque no puedo explicar lo que en lenguaje visual, esta compuesto por los elementos que denuncian y anuncian una relación de realidades falsas, unas llamadas Historia y otras Arte. En cada uno de estos temas, esta obra denuncia su falsedad.

I was born in Antigua Guatemala, a very beautiful city full of history and culture.
Surrounded by mountains and three imposing volcanoes.
He studies Architecture, ecology and philosophy. He worked for a long time in furniture factories as a draftsman. Then I lived in Spain and discovered painting, which I learned to love as a rich means of expression.
I returned to Guatemala and began to work doing different types of works, towards small sculptures with different materials, I made several exhibitions. Then I continued investigating the work of painters that I was passionate about, such as Vicente Rojo, Basquiat, Picasso, Merida, Joaquin Torres and others who filled me with incomparable joy.
My work is a constant search, I struggle to overcome my own criticisms, I have a strong inclination for geometry, textures and the use of different techniques within the same work.
I have done many Graphic Design jobs, especially Logo design.
I work doing murals which I am really passionate about and love, it is a means to give color and warmth to gray and cold spaces.
In my work I involve everything that leads me to reflection and questions at the same time; beauty, geometry, texture, and poetry are ways to describe some works.
My desire for my art to reach many people is one of my main sources of inspiration, I do not believe in easy art, everything that is great and that leaves a mark takes time. I dedicate part of my day to researching how to overcome the transition from desire to creativity and create a message that is an impulse for others.
Guatemala is part of that impulse, a country affected by a violent history, full of positive and negative contrasts, it is an engine of desire for change, it is a mixture of colors and a wonderful legacy that the Mayas carry within us, their geometry, their Art as a whole surpasses our understanding and comes to influence us whether we want to or not because its strength comes from beyond, which is the greatness of Humanity and Artistic creation.
