History

 

Pedro Ipina, born in El Salvador, began his apprenticeship with the master of the “Valera Lecha” school, worked on his own for a while and then later assisted Carlos Canas painting the mural at the National Theater in San Salvador.

Today he is one of El Salvador’s most renowned painters, working in a style that is a hybrid of surrealism, abstraction and the literary form Magical Realism, as he imbues each painting with a narrative, that if you ask, he will happily tell you.

 Mr., Ipina exhibits all over the world: Tokyo, Santo Domingo, Jerusalem, Tegucigalpa, Washington D.C, Guatemala City, Boston and Miami just to name a few museum showings. His paintings, which sell from $2,000 to $10,000, are held in hundreds of public and private collections all over the world.

 His painting “El Rey David” hangs in the museum adorning the tomb of King David on Mount Zion.

He regularly donates key pieces to charities including the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund, as well as, a variety of children/health organizations in Central and South America.

 Mr. Ipina’s work exists to answers those questions we hide in our hearts. It seeks to take us beyond ourselves to the realm of the infinite. His soft clear brush style, almost minimalist, cracks open the crystallization of habit and clears away the world, leaving us in the kingdom of our hearts embracing the very act of creation.

He is an artist to be reckoned with. 

Our singular goal is to bring Pedro Ipina’s work to the world, to democratize art, to put it in the hands of people.

 Thank you.
