Working with oil paints, Hugo Pichiya brings San Jorge La Laguna to life, a charming village nestled along the shores of Guatemala’s breathtaking Lake Atitlan. In the distance, the towering Toliman Volcano rises beneath a clear sky, while the lake stretches out in quiet splendor. The foreground is filled with the warmth of daily life—a woman in traditional Maya attire and a man in a wide-brimmed hat tend to their sheep, framed by white-walled homes with terracotta roofs and a central church. Lush greenery and bursts of pink, orange and yellow flowers weave through the scene, capturing the beauty and rhythm of this splendid village.

Titled Lago de Atitlán desde San Jorge in Spanish.

Guatemala is full of natural landscapes with a warm and serene aura, now depicted by Hugo Pichiya in a series of impressionist compositions in honor of his hometown. The artist uses oil on canvas to paint a house in the middle of nature, with trees and green lands showing the country's prosperity.

The painting is titled Comunidad in Spanish and comes stretched.

A single marguerite daisy flaunts petals of pristine purity in this lovely flower study. To the left, abstract foliage suggest stained glass on a sunny afternoon while red and yellow convey summer's warmth. Sylvia Fournier creates an enchanted vision of Costa Rica with this mixed media painting. She calls her technique "photo art," digitally printing one of her original photographs on canvas, then painting over parts of it with acrylics, pastels, chalk and marking pens. The result is beautiful.

Titled "Margarita" in Spanish.

The beautiful trees and charming flowers embellishing Guatemala's natural landscapes make everyone feel at home. Taking inspiration from traditional scenes of his hometown, Hugo Pichiya makes this oil painting featuring a house surrounded by natural elements, all following an impressionist style in warm hues.

The work is titled Lindo Hogar in Spanish and comes stretched.
