Artist Guest of Honor 

​​Patricio Marín

​Patricio Marín is a Nicaraguan painter from Susucayan, Nueva Segovia. After high school, he was searching for direction and at the suggestion of his mother and the town priest, he left Nicaragua to take a drawing and painting course at the School of Fine Arts in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. He found himself at home immersed in color and pigments and in 2000, he returned to Nicaragua to dedicate himself to painting. Since then, he has used lithographic ink to paint landscapes in the "style of Bob Ross" and his technique has evolved to using oil on canvas and aluminum panel in a hyper realistic style.
​ 
I replicate reality with my works and my intention is to take fragments of the world's natural beauty and record them on canvas.
