Painter Julio Visquerra

Julio Visquerra was born in Las Flores Ranch, Honduras in 1944. He studied painting in the National School of Fine Arts and finished his studies in Spain.  He later resided in Europe for more than twenty plus years.  But he later returned to Honduras where he has been living since. Visquerra started as an expressionist artist, but he experimented with different techniques, especially with oil on canvas. He has experimented with several styles like cubism, expressionism, and realism, which have led him to paint in magical realism. His themes portray fruits that are used to symbolize human deterioration, the decadence of power, and the process of life and death. Another central theme of his is the feminine figure. He has exhibited in America and Europe.
