Espacios interiores (Inner Spaces)

Byron Lombardo Mejía represents one of the new facets of Honduran art. This painting forms part of a series of paintings whose lugubrious atmosphere responds to another type of tragedy, that of the human condition. They also allude to a more millenarian type of catastrophe: a faded civilization effaced perhaps by its own arrogance, by blindness to its own errors, and now become an artifice of its own extinction. The humanist feeling confers on the images of both canvases symbolic and dramatic connotations. The appearance of the figures corresponds to the irrationality that characterizes man’s daily behavior, which ignores the most elemental laws of decency and co-existence.
