Acrylic on canvas
Already in first grade, Fausto’s family, teachers and friends observed that he had special artistic talents. In his teens, he attended a school that exposed its students to a broad range of artistic skills, including ceramics, graphics, sculpture, handicrafts and drawing. By age 18, he had his first individual exhibition – at the National Library in San Salvador. Fausto’s figurative, near-photorealistic renditions draw upon his personal experience of daily life of his village and the surrounding hills and dales. His charming, bright-colored artworks portray the rhythms and harmonies of everyday life, transporting us from the tensions and chaos of the world today to happier moments and a better place and time.
