A Young Man Size: 25” x 77”
Medium: oil on canvas
This is a very outgoing young man from Monterrico, Guatemala. Since it is a small town and away from the “big city”, he is more or less safe to be what he wants. Not forgetting the protection from his family.
Unfortunately there aren’t too many job opportunities in a place like this for someone like him. And I can’t help but think that he’s been handed the short end of the stick in education and life choices. He is 16 years old and works as a prostitute. Says he gets more business than any of the girls……
