The role of the Spanish monarchy in Mexico--then called New Spain--lasted 300 years, from 1520-1810. The Viceroyalty of New Spain consisted of the present countries of Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama.
During that time, indigenous artists in these areas were trained--and sometimes re-trained--by missionary priests and artists from Europe to perfect a European style of painting, based on prints and paintings that were imported to Mexico from Spain, Italy, and Northern Europe.
What developed was a style distinctly "Mexican"--earthy, quite accomplished, and distinct from European art--that bore the strong imprint of European compositions and styles. Great altarpieces, portraits, and sculptures were produced in programs to decorate churches, monasteries, civic buildings, and for ephemeral public festivals. For the duration of Spanish rule, much of this production was accomplished with the supervision and tutelage of church officials and Spanish-born artists. Mexican painters, however, made great careers for themselves, whether native born, mestizo (mixed-race), or criollo (Mexican-born of Spanish parents).
The artistic concept that we bring to you is unique in it's combined technique, and allows us to share with you our particular way of appreciating the beauty that surrounds us in the streets and towns, gardens and plazas, historical cities.
