Biography
Guatemalan painter and printmaker, born San Marcos. He began his art studies at the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas in Guatemala City, then studied painting at the Facultad de Bellas Artes of the Universidad de Costa Rica (1968-9) and printmaking at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid (1974-5). His first works were expressionist woodcuts influenced by Munch, but after studying in Madrid he changed his style, emphasizing the role of drawing and texture and taking his subjects from Latin American literature.
