Artist's Description
This was my first painting which I asked to learn the techniques of painting the Nicaraguan Primitive style. Though an imagined scene, the design is very similar to one I have seen as an embroidery of the epoch of the Spanish Conquest of the 1500's. Our first two years in Nicaragua we lived in Chinandega, near the Pacific coast, and found many people still living in thatched roof houses similar to that depicted. I chose the Primitive style because it demonstrates a love for the country, for nature, for the brilliance of colors under a Tropical sun. With Ernesto Cardenal, poet and priest, former Minister of Culture, originated the Primitivista style of painting in his community of Solentiname that was destroyed by the Somoza dictatorship in the early days of the Revolution. This style of painting still continues in Nicaragua.
