Original oil painting by Guillo Pérez 3 · Dominican-American contemporary artist · Available at Marcolina's Fine Arts Gallery, Tampa, Florida · Ships worldwide

Every portrait Guillo paints is about more than the face. This one is explicitly about that. The Face Beneath is about what sits under the surface of a person, the version of themselves they do not always show, the layers that accumulate over a life and become who someone actually is beneath the presentation.

The painting does not answer the question it raises. It holds it open, which is the honest thing to do. We do not fully know what is underneath. We can feel that something is there.

This is quiet work for Guillo, intimate scale, restrained palette by his standards, the focus pulled inward. It works in a private space. A study, a bedroom, somewhere you actually spend time rather than perform in.

About the Artist

Guillo Pérez 3 is a Dominican-American painter, co-founder, educator, and cultural ambassador whose artwork and vision help define the identity of Marcolina's Fine Arts Gallery. Born in Santo Domingo and raised in Queens, New York, he is the grandson of Maestro Guillo Pérez, one of the Dominican Republic's most respected painters and a recognized figure in the U.S. State Department's Art in Embassies program, and the son of master painter Willy Pérez. Three generations of unbroken serious painterly practice. His work hangs in the permanent collection of the Skylands Museum of Art alongside Salvador Dalí and Pablo Picasso, and is held by private collectors in over 48 countries.

Working from Tampa, Florida, he has developed Bauhaus Budō: a synthesis of Bauhaus design discipline and the meditative rigor of martial arts. His work has been exhibited across the United States, the Caribbean, and Europe. The New York Times recognized him as a "Star Maker."
