Original oil painting by Guillo Pérez 3 · Dominican-American contemporary artist · Available at Marcolina's Fine Arts Gallery, Tampa, Florida · Ships worldwide
The figure in this painting is surrounded by paradise and completely missing it. Head down, absorbed in a screen, while behind them the kind of natural world most people spend their whole lives looking for just exists, patient and indifferent.
Guillo is not being preachy about it. He is being honest about it, which is a different thing. This is a painting about a feeling everyone recognizes. The moment you realize you were somewhere extraordinary and did not quite arrive.
The visual language here is characteristically Guillo: rich color in the landscape, the figure simplified to gesture and posture, the contrast doing the emotional work. You do not need the title to read the painting. But you need the painting to feel what the title is pointing at.
Missing Paradise is one of Guillo's most immediately relatable works. It asks a simple question that does not have a simple answer.
