What is about?
Art and text by Fabricio Valdivieso
San Salvador, located in the centre of the republic of El Salvador, has been one of the most populous Central American cities since its founding as the capital of the nation in the 19th century. Throughout the last two centuries, both San Salvador and other main cities in the country have shown different urban environments. These scenes were captured in drawings, lithographs and photographs of yesteryear, preserved today in public and private collections, including newspapers of the time and important foreign publications. These valuable documents many times describe cultural aspects of the city and its social and economic dynamics, as if we could travel to that moment and enter among its people, and see first-hand that urban environment and its culture.
Travelers from the 19th and early 20th centuries did not cease to be amazed at such a beautiful and busy metropolis, with theaters, active squares enlivened by classical orchestras, restaurants, hotels, casinos, and public and private institutions that showed off their rich architecture. The formal trade with its products coming from all over the world, the introduction of electricity and the latest generation cars for the 1920s, gave the perfect stamp of a country on the path of development hand in hand with the modern world.
Making art based on the past of a constantly changing city is for this server, as an artist, an attempt to create a portal in time, and share an unusual journey towards what one day must have been in the eyes and feelings of our grandparents.
This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
