“I’m Maria José Villacorta, a Salvadoran artist currently living in Panama. My work is best known for its bold, colorful explorations of space, perception, and contemporary life. From poolside portraits of swimmers and children to immersive, vibrant landscapes, I push the boundaries of traditional art to reimagine how we see the world. Through joy, observation, and emotion, my paintings invite viewers to rediscover the beauty and complexity in the everyday.”
