Guillermo López is a Guatemalan artist who immigrated to the United States in 1990 at the age of 10. With his active imagination he has turned his series of good, bad, & ugly experiences into art through the use of white cut out figurines posted against a black background. Like a puzzle waiting to be solved, Guillermo lets the viewers find their own interpretation of his work expressing the connection of the human mind to the metaphysical world.
As an advocate for gay & immigrant rights Guillermo feels how crucial art is to the healing process.
Guillermo López resides in Los Angeles and teaches arts & crafts to at risk youth. He hopes that through his contributions to the art program entitled Project Phoenix Arts and Crafts Youth Program, he can get other artists involved in the beauty of immigrants from all over the world. Regardless of what awaits in the future, he is proud to be Latino.
