Julian's paintings
The first two paintings are in the traditional Tz'utujil style of painting. Julian was the first artist from his San Juan la Laguna to go to art school. The first painting he did as a teenagar befor his family sent him to art school. The second painting he did more recently. |

Julian's cubist paintings
After returning from art school, Julian struggle for years trying to put what
he learned into his paintings. He finally created a distinctly Guatemalan and Maya style of cubism which was widely
copied by other Tz'utujil artists because it sold easily to tourists. The first small painting I discovered in his studio years after people were painting in his style.
Is a link showing his transition from realism to cubism.
