Peasant with Fraile.Artist: Tulio Enrrique VELASQUEZ oil / canvas Peasant with Fraile.Painting measures 73 x 59 cmTulio Enrique Velásquez MaradiagaAFTER HIS STEPSDespite what has been affirmed, Velásquez was not the founder of any workshop in which the primitivists of today were trained. In a figurative sense, he did go to school because his style and technique have been repeatedly imitated.His only formal students were three: His sons Tulio Enrique, José Antonio and his grandson Roberto Velásquez.Of the children of José Antonio Velásquez, Tulio Enrique and José Antonio have followed in their footsteps as primitive painters, in addition to other professional activities.About five decades ago he said to his son Tulio: "Paint what I am doing, if you want the same style, but within my style create your own."He caught what his father wanted to say and considers that his style is clearer, more defined. But always having the town as its main lighting.Tulio Enrique states that his work differs from that of his father because “he painted dark, I lighter; he made it a little indefinite, I more defined, with perspective. His was a natural gift, he did not know any law to apply it in his painting. "In the canvases that Velásquez painted on San Antonio de Oriente, there is no shortage of a priest, a dog, who can be white, yellow or black, and other animals such as a donkey and poultry.Of all those animals, the black dog became a personal seal of Velasquez, at the suggestion of an art critic from the United States.For this reason, the children of the famous Honduran painter do not use the black dog in their paintings.
