Fernando Llort, National Artist of El Salvador, created his designs by stirring together a bit of fantasy with pre-Columbian images. His paintings represent his dreams of a world in harmony with nature. Recognized world-wide for his art, Fernando transformed a village into a community of artisans, and his images reconnected the people of El Salvador to their ancient past.

"How many artists invoke their disappearing culture? and transform a village by founding a crafts industry? and inspire a nation to adopt their designs as symbols of their ancient heritage? Painting Joy tells the fascinating story of Fernando Llort who did all of this"
