Greg Palacio

I'm an indigenous, Garifuna, cultural artist from Belize. My intention is to entertain and educate through art. Although my undergraduate degree is in Game Art Design (3D), I minored in Fine Art so my body of work also includes pencil, watercolor, acrylic and oil. My pieces consists of current affairs, historical events, firsthand witness of my childhood observations, dreams, also there are a few paintings inspired by knowledgeable elders based on their experiences and passed oral accounts. Other aspects of my work touch on the social, political and spiritual components of my Garifuna heritage. However, since there is another distinct black culture in Belize known as Creole that makes up the population, we also have the original Mayans, Mestiso, East Indians, middle Easterners and Asians whose lifestyles I try to cover as well.
