Up is a “Two For One” sale of a pair of El Salvador folk art paintings of peasant children in school by the internationally renowned El Salvador artist, Francisca Huezo. Born in 1955 in San Salvador, the capital of El Salvador, Francisca Huezo grew up surrounded by family and friends who were artists. She began early to establish her own style, first with embroidery and stitching. In the 1980s, Huezo began traveling to other countries such as Mexico, Costa Rica and Nicaragua creating her artwork to reflect the different indigenous aspects and cultural inspirations that surrounded her. During this time period she embraced the idea of painting the peoples and characters from her travels in bold blues, reds, yellows and browns that reflect her own intense yet sweet personality. When asked, Why use such bold colors? Francisca Huezo replies, Because I love life & happiness. Currently, Francisca Huezo resides in El Salvador and Nicaragua where she continues to paint, create and train women in the artisan way of life. In her unique style, the two paintings for sale, depict young children in school. In the first, a teacher is going over the ABCs with three children. In the second, the same three children are in front of a black board, doing math. Both are signed “Hurricane 2011, ” in the lower right corners. Both are approximately 10 x 14 inches and are in simple black frames. Both are in very good shape, with a few light scratches, etc. The math painting has a light crease from the top of the schoolhouse to the top of the frame. It looks like it was in the canvas when it was painted. See pictures #10 and 11. We fell in love with these when we first saw them. We think you will to. See the rules below.
