"This painting is inspired by the flowers that are cultivated near my village. They remind me of how beautiful my Guatemala is," confides Juan Henry Mendez. He refers to the exotic beauty of calla lilies and birds of paradise, which he captures with artistic finesse as he paints with oils and acrylics.

Inspired by themes of thanksgiving, Guatemalan artist Boni paints this still life composition. In a realist, naif style, he paints a jar of calla lilies with colorful corn cobs and a candle in the foreground. For the artist, the corn represents thankfulness of the harvest. The flame and the flowers represent benevolence.

Titled Acción de gracia in Spanish.
