Guatemalan artist Hugo Pichiya portrays a beautiful landscape where sheep graze peacefully near the dwellings. In the background, the highlands reign supreme while nature and its bright colors surround three small and picturesque houses. Pichiya's artwork is inspired by the small places of his homeland, where he says “distinct colors and magic can be appreciated in every corner of this incomparable land.” This oil on canvas landscape painting showcases Pichiya's skillful use of color and composition to create a serene and idyllic scene that transports the viewer to a tranquil rural setting.
