People of Maize
(Life in the Guatemalan Countryside 10 years after the civil war)

Last year I spent 6 months in the Guatemalan countryside. I was working for an international accompaniment project in villages that were destroyed in 1982 during the civil war. During my stay I made many portraits of the inhabitants who had survived the massacres in their villages. I also painted scenes from everyday life of the Mayan people, particularly the women. I want my pictures to help raise more awareness about the situation in Guatemala and its history so we never stay indifferent to any human rights violations happening around the world.

The exhibition will include Paintings, Photographs, examples of local children’s artwork and explanations of the situation of the Maya people in Guatemala past and present.
