These painting by the famous Dominican painter Guillo Peréz represent my heritage through a visual interpretation of the Dominican Republic. The colors that he utilizes show not only the warmth but also the earthy and tropical aspects of the Dominican Republic. The use of cool colors such as blue and green add to the tropical feeling as one does not think tropics without imagining the trees and ocean that you can find around the beach areas of the country. Peréz’s paintings can vary from warm and soft to sharp, bold and vibrant, just like the Dominican Republic.
