The colorful façades throughout La Antigua Guatemala are like
canvases left outdoors. Nature destroys them, and time transforms
the surfaces into abstract and impressionistic formations. Old walls
become short-lived works of art. Color and texture from the past
create a sort of present-day graffiti until repairs and a fresh coat of
paint wipe away the shapes and patterns. It is an ever-changing
public display of peeling paint and crumbling adobe. The
compositions are visually articulate and as much part of the cityscape
as the monuments and ruins.
This unique genre is the subject of Huellas/Imprints. The
photographs reinterpret the creative force of time and nature
as painterly and contemporary images.
