“En las huellas de un pintor, hay gran parte de la historia de un pueblo”
“In the brush strokes of a painter, lies the history of its people”
-Marcio Díaz
I was born in a small farming community in northern Nicaragua. I now devote my time entirely to painting. My art represents the country life; the people, nature, and culture of my country as well as the places I have lived and visited.
My experiences as a child growing up in a rural environment gave me an awareness of its natural beauty and lifestyles that I continue to cultivate today through my art. I am passionate about using bold, vibrant, rich colors in my paintings. When I paint I start out spreading a gamut of colors over the canvas, then add many more layers of paint, scratching over the surface with a palette knife to the finished piece. I am constantly studying art from around the world and I like to experiment with new techniques and textures.
