El pueblo de Monseñor Romero

Featured Work

El pueblo de Monseñor Romero

Romero stands at the centre in white vestments, holding a rake instead of a crosier. Around him are peasants with their tools, women and children clinging to his cassock. Below, in red half-light, lie the bodies of those already fallen.

Romero stands at the centre in white vestments, holding a rake instead of a crosier. Around him are peasants with their tools, women and children clinging to his cassock. Below, in red half-light, lie the bodies of those already fallen.

El martirio de Padre Cosme Spessotto

$800

A vertical composition in three movements: above, the priest blesses with a raised hand against a storm-torn sky; at the centre he holds the red church of his parish; below, his own body lies in the coffin, surrounded by the parishioners keeping vigil.

Roque Dalton, el mártir

$400

The poet stands with his back to the ravine, hands raised before the rifles. The ground, stained red, is strewn with sheets of paper: the poems left scattered where he fell.

Todos, Homenaje a Roque Dalton

$500

An allegory in red: a body falls headfirst among serpents while a bull charges from the right and a standing figure spreads its arms over the void. Below, a white church and a few clay jars anchor the scene in Salvadoran soil.

Traición, El Mozote

$200

At the centre, a woman in an orange mantle opens her arms while a child shelters at her side; around them, raised arms dissolve into smoke. Below, soldiers stand with their backs to the viewer, rifles still in hand.

1932

$100

Two prisoners before the guard: the man in a suit and the barefoot peasant, bound by the same rope. At their feet, a fallen hat and an open newspaper. The painting fixes the moment just before the 1932 massacre.

Homenaje a los caídos el 30 de julio de 1975

$500

University students burn at the centre of the canvas, arms flung open, the AGEUS banner unfurled. Below, the troops close ranks with helmets on. A scroll on the right bears the date of the massacre.

El Cipitío y los Cadejos

$500

El Cipitío, the eternal child with a swollen belly, stands between the black cadejo and the white one. The scene abandons the terror of the legend for something more intimate: a boy and his two guardians.

La travesía del Cipitío

Not available

Naked figures in straw hats dance in a jungle clearing while a feathered, masked deity emerges from the clouds with a drawn bow. The myth of El Cipitío is traced back to its pre-Hispanic origin.

La vendedora de barro

$500

A young woman in a red huipil rests seated on her white skirt, surrounded by clay jars, in the shade of a flowering tree. The colour bursts into greens and blues; this is a portrait of rest, not of labour.

Las vendedoras de barro

$300

Two women hold and carry on their heads clay bowls painted with birds. Behind them, the maize field and the volcano. The figures stand monumental, with the dignity of those who carry on an inherited trade.

Mi querida Santa Ana

$300

The cathedral of Santa Ana rises white above a plaza ablaze with reds, flanked by the theatre and the town hall. In front, a group of women and men advances towards the viewer: the people occupy the foreground and the architecture stays behind.

Mi Querida Santa Ana 2

$300

Santa Ana's patron saint festival takes over the plaza: the crowned image of the saint is carried on a platform by the people before the cathedral's white façade. Another look at the same city, this time through the faith and bustle that fill it every year.

Iglesia Don Rúa

$300

A study from life of the María Auxiliadora Don Rúa church, its red spire emerging from the vegetation. Loose brushwork and thick impasto; the green of the hills absorbs the city.

Visión personal, Catedral de San Salvador

$300

The Metropolitan Cathedral seen from above, its dome and towers cut against the hillside. Ochres, violets and muted greys: the city falls quiet and the temple is left alone, almost uninhabited.

Ay mi querido San Salvador

$300

San Salvador's patron saint festival. 30 x 40 cm.
