About the Item

Santa Maria de Jesus Market in Guatemala by artist William Kalwick depicts a typical market in one of the local towns that are held throughout Guatemala. This market takes place in Antigua, Guatemala. Each town in Guatemala has their market on one or two specific days of the week except in the Capital where they are held daily. The bright fabrics aka huipils that the women are wearing signify the region or ethnic groups of the various Indian/Maya people. This painting includes a custom handmade frame. This scene is of a typical Guatemalan Indigenous highland village market in Guatemala. Nahuala Market Day in Guatemala depicts a man who has travelled from a distant village to this town to sell his fruit.. Other Kalwick paintings are shown below. Market days or Días de mercado in Santa María de Jesús fall on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday, although you can find vendors at the mercado everyday. On días de mercado the activity and the offer of vegetable is much fresher and larger. Guatemalan cuisine is packed with memorable dishes, from on-the-go snacks to classics that draw on centuries of tradition. Kalwick’s paintings cover a wide range of subject matter. However, he is best known for his Guatemalan market scenes, Guatemalan figurative work, and portraits. Recent portrait commissions include Harold Hook, retiring CEO of American General Corp.; Reese Jones, international golf course designer; and Paul Merriman, retiring CEO of Hisco Corp. Kalwick was honored for the second time with a one-man show sponsored by the United States Embassy at the Museo Ixchel in Guatemala City. Southwest Art magazine featured Kalwick’s work on the cover and elaborated upon his style in an article titled “Guatemala Days.” He also was featured in Art of the West magazine . Kalwick’s portrait painting was featured in Southwest Art magazine . Kalwick has participated in many shows including the Masters of the American West at the Autry Museum in Los Angeles, California; the Prix de West at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, as well as the annual Gilcrease Museum show. Kalwick’s paintings hang in collections throughout North America and Europe.

Vendiendo Plátanos -Selling Bananas, Nahualá Guatemala, Oil , 18 x 12, Market
Located in Houston, TX
Vendiendo Platanos is a 18 x 12 oil on panel paininting by William Kalwick. This was done on site in Nahuala , Guatemala. A frame has been ordered for the painting. This Nahuala Coop, 100% women farmer produced washed Guatemala heirloom coffee features sweet, clean and bright aromas of hazelnut. The flavor is rich, with notes of chocolate, citrus and roasted nuts, finishing smooth and lingering. Nearly the entire population of the municipality is made up of ethnic K'iche' Maya who speak the K'iche' language. The population of the township is estimated to be between 50,000 and 85,000 individuals, about 10% of whom live in the head-town. Statistics vary widely because much of the township's territory and several large villages are also claimed by Nahualá' sister township, Santa Catarina Ixtahuacán.
