Oil Painting Of Traditional Street In Antigua Guatemala- Bell Street

Located in Antigua Guatemala, Bell Street, or Calle de las Campanas, beckons with its serene atmosphere and storied connection to the Church of Saint Francis the Great, home to a legendary historic bell. This beloved street draws both travelers and locals into its timeless embrace, serving as the captivating subject of Hugo Pichiya's luminous oil painting. "This historic city has always been an endless wellspring of inspiration for me," the artist says. "Its cobblestone streets, colonial architecture and the commanding presence of the Volcán de Agua (Volcano of Water) create a singular atmosphere that breathes history and nostalgia. In this composition, I sought to capture the exquisite beauty of Calle de las Campanas by highlighting the striking contrast between its neutral-toned architecture and the vibrant life that bougainvillea and nature bring to these ancient stones."Titled Calle de las Campanas in Spanish.
