The 2022 Featured Artist is Guilloume Perez-Zapata, a master of “Bolismo” an emotional style using simple forms, textures, and movements to exhibit human feelings from the most complex to the simplest. Guilloume’s canvas is a unique expression of earthly humanism with its joys, afflictions, and fears.
Born in Colombia in 1957, he dedicated himself to art at an early age and completed formal studies at Bellas Artes Institute in 1981. Guilloume works in oils, watercolors, oil pastel, pastel, pencil, and ink as well as creates sculptures in bronze and stone. Guilloume maintains his studio in New Mexico. We are excited to have Guilloume as the 2022 featured artist and to showcase his work!
