Luis González Palma is a contemporary Guatemalan visual and conceptual artist who works on photography and installation. His poetic portraits of Mayan Indians combine elements from European visual culture and pre-Colombian spirituality, reflecting on the hybrid nature of Guatemalan cultural identity as both the legacy and the tragedy of colonization. Throughout his work, González Palma explores the complex relationship between image and meaning production that has emerged within colonial contexts.
