guatemala paintings

Juan Henry Mendez is an artist with a passion for painting that stems from childhood. In his work, he hopes to capture and preserve the beauty of his native country, Guatemala. He does that dream justice with this impressive painting of a peaceful lake with boats resting on the shore. Depicting the Lago de Atitlán, or Lake Atitlan, it shows the San Pedro volcano in the distance. Mountains watch over the lake against a sky turning golden with the setting sun.

Titled Paisaje de Atitlán in Spanish.

Juan Henry Mendez

He refers to the exotic beauty of calla lilies and birds of paradise, which he captures with artistic finesse as he paints with oils and acrylics.

Titled "Cartuchos" in Spanish.

Bright bougainvilleas tumble over yellow stucco walls along a cobblestone lane. In the distance, a volcano stands vigil. "Antigua is inspiring. This is one of its prettiest streets. The colonial-style cobblestone streets attract visitors from everywhere, and Volcan del Agua is like a guardian," Boni says. He shares the beauty of this beloved city in oil on canvas.

They Are Stealing the Girl Kidnapping the Bride Painting Signed Guatemalan Fine Art

"I like to show our ancestors' traditions through my art, so that our children realize how different is their life compared to my generation, and older," confides Filiberto Chali. Painting with oils, he tells the story of how a young woman is stolen from her parents' home by her boyfriend and his friends. The only witness to the event is a man with a couple of bottles, perhaps not the most reliable of witnesses.

Kidnapping brides used to be a fairly common practice in San Juan Comalapa, Chali's hometown. The reason for taking her could be anything, from her being underage, her parents not allowing the union, or her not wanting to marry the groom. By kidnapping her, the parents were ultimately obliged to allow their union lest she be deemed unchaste by everyone else. Today the custom continues, but only when there is consent, and then the festivities ensue.

Titled "Se Roban a la Muchacha" in Spanish.

Flowers and Watermelon Still Life Painting of Watermelon and Flowers Guatemala Art

Juan Henry Mendez

"I was inspired by the tables decorated by the grandmothers of my town. They always had fresh flowers in old vases - the flowers came from their garden, they didn't buy them. And watermelons are a type of fresh fruit that is perfect for hot days," explains Juan Henry Mendez. He paints with acrylics and oil, creating a classic still life with a vibrant palette of Guatemalan colors.

Titled "Flores y sandia" in Spanish.

Bonifacio Maxia Cutzal celebrates the beauty of Lake Atitlan with its cold, deep waters. Working in oil on canvas, he paints the view from a cobblestone lane on the shore. In the distance, the San Pedro and Tolimán volcanoes stand tall above the blue lake.

Colonial homes sit along a cobblestone lane washed by rain, its puddles reflecting the small but stately houses. In the distance, a volcano raises majestically like a sentinel above Antigua, Guatemala. The cobblestone lane leads to the church of San Francisco. "This is is one of my favorite churches in Antigua," Bonifacio Maxia Cutzal confides. Working in oil on canvas, he depicts the scene with sepia overtones, creating a sensation of nostalgia.

Titled "San Francisco en Sepia" in Spanish.

Returning from the Fields Guatemala Village Life Signed Limited Edition Painting

"This painting depicts life in my village - the way mothers look after their children is reflected in the caring way they look after their dogs. Many times families will share what little they have with their pets," says Boni from Guatemala. "The woman with her back to us represents the friends we meet on the street, whereas the guy sitting watching the world go by represents those who don't lift a finger when they see someone in trouble - for example he can see the woman is carrying all that firewood and doesn't help her. But, the woman and child don't mind; they keep walking, getting on with life, struggling toward a better future." Boni paints with oils in the style that is known as Comalapa Naïf.

Titled "Regreso del campo" in Spanish.
