Description
“Retazo de Pueblo”.......Spanish for “A piece of the town”. The title of a painting on a wall in La Palma.In 1972 Painter Fernando Llort, born in 1949, at the age of 23, moved to “La Palma”, a little town in the north part of El Salvador. He opened there a painting workshop that turned soon into a factory “The seed of God”, he started to create beautiful paintings that became symbols of the country. His work culminated when he was assigned to design the facade of our Metropolitan cathedral that now displays his colourful works.
In 1977 “The seed of God” turned into a “Cooperative” that employs many of the local natives, who continued the work of Fernando. The town is now an enchanted place, and many of the houses are decorated with the style of painting that Fernando created.
We are all very proud of him.
Please see the links about the work of Fernando.

About the picture.....some little parts of the paintings were deteriorated or washed, and were restored, also some cracks on the wall that could be distracting were healed, but trying to preserve the feeling of reality.

The white balance seems a little odd, with the bluish cast to the concrete and sand.
The people fit very well with the wall.

Cheerful and full of life,
The painting on the wall gives a sort of rythme to this picture,
it is complemetary to the main subjects; almost like music

Me encanta el contraste de la gente del pueblo con el mural. Al verlo todo junto te das cuenta que el mural es parte de ese estilo de vida. Es como un graffity rural latino-americano =p (Por llamarlo de alguna manera) Los colores no son tan chillones y vivos como los de los graffitis urbanos y las formas son más suaves (seguramente porque no esta pintado con spray sino con pintura) La luz de la foto me parece perfecta para captar el ambiente de vitalidad y calma, un día luminoso, pero a la sombra. Es el contraste perfecto de la vitalidad y el frenetismo de la ciudad. Me gusta sobre todo porque no da la típica imagen del mundo rural como un lugar muerto, de retiraro o del pasado.
