Guatemalan Civil War (1960-1996)

 

naufus portrait

Naufus Ramírez-Figueroa currently lives and works in Guatemala. The Guatemalan civil war (1960-1996) is a recurring subject in his work, often softened by an absurd and humurous approach that fails to conceal the force of history that precedes it.
