EXPO Chicago: BOOTH #224

Born in Guatemala, Rodolfo Abularach (1933-2020) is one of Latin America’s most distinguished yet underrecognized masters. Throughout his over six-decade long career, Abularach created a fascinating and spiritual world filled with images of planetary forms, mandalas, and earthly and psychological portals. 

His most famous subject was the eye, which he saw as a window into the soul. His interest in the mysteries of the earth led him to depict volcanoes, emblems of the artist’s homeland and ancient history. Abularach mastered and explored a variety of styles, from hyper realistic to abstract, monochrome to multicolored, esoteric to surreal. He was known for his virtuosity in multiple media, including painting, drawing, and printmaking.

Abularach’s work is held in an extraordinary number of major collections and institutions worldwide.
