Kitchen / Cocina

Kitchen (Cocina) by David Ordoñez Lacayo offers a joyful, saturated glimpse into everyday life in Guatemala. Set before the majestic white façade of a colonial church, the scene bursts with energy: baskets of produce, woven textiles, clay pots, and market vendors in traditional attire. The detailed layering and vivid color palette invite the viewer to explore every corner — from the quiet architecture to the lively trade happening in front of it.
The work is tightly composed yet full of movement, and its visual clarity is paired with a painterly softness that makes it feel timeless. The scene doesn't just depict a place — it celebrates cultural memory and community interaction.
