Maya Contemporary Collection

About

Welcome to the world where far-eastern inspired fantasy meets Mayan culture and passion for modern art. Welcome to the world of Raul Vasquez, one of Latin America's most recognized artist. Mr. Vasquez's paintings are through numerous past international exhibitions well known and valued in the world's art community.

With this catalog, Vasquez would like to present a mix of his latest as well as older paintings. A series of personal tragedies marks the painters last 12 years of life. The formerly wealthy artist first lost his school in a flooding during hurricane "Stan" in 2005 and the majority of his savings in 2007 to a fraudulent investment adviser. In 2010, his house was damaged during a rock slide, plundered and set on fire. Already before, in 2009, the artist fell into depression, developed a knee and ankle problem and lost sight on one eye.

Never having stopped painting or forsaken hope, he lives with his wife without electricity or other amenities like a shower or windows in the boulder-mauled ruins of his Panajachel estate. With ongoing support of his international friends, he is currently working on making his art available again to a wider audience.

Vasquez paintings and sculptures speak for themselves and for the beauty of spirited skill enabling man's expression of deep involvement in matters of spiritual, traditional and social nature. Combined with his dauntless use of experimental materials, indeed the works of Vasquez are as uniquely Central-American as it gets.
