Well known San Juan Comalapa artist Salvador Cumez Curruchich
believed that, in a field dominated exclusively by men, women
could become excellent painters. With his help a group of
interested women formed a women’s painting collective. He
encouraged them to develop themes from their Maya culture. Paula
Nicho was one of these women. With Salvador’s encouragement and
support, Paula Nicho has become the most original Maya woman
artist in Guatemala. Although Paula’s fame has eclipsed that of
her husband, Salvador is pleased for her success. Many of
Paula’s themes come from her dreams, especially those of flying.
A strong defender of her Maya traditions, in her paintings she
expresses her determination that both as a woman and as a Maya
she be treated as an equal. |
Artista reconocido en San Juan Comalapa, Salvador Cumez
Curruchich, creía que en el terreno dominado exclusivamente por
hombres, las mujeres podían llegar a ser excelentes pintoras.
Con su ayuda, un grupo de mujeres interesadas formó lo que es un
colectivo de mujeres pintoras. Él las motivó a que
desarrollaran temas de su cultura Maya. Paula Nicho es una de
estas mujeres. Con el apoyo y motivación de Salvador, Paula
Nicho es la artista Maya más original en Guatemala. A pesar de
que la fama de Paula ha opacado la de su esposo, Salvador está
complacido por su éxito. Muchos de los temas que Paula
desarrolla vienen en sueños, especialmente aquellos sobre
volar. Paula es una fuerte defensora de sus tradiciones Mayas,
en sus pinturas ella expresa su determinación, que como mujer,
tanto como Maya, sea tratada de igual manera. |
