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.
