Ana María closes for a moment the window that overlooks her mythological garden where she invented fabulous flowers, secret mosses and mirror butterflies; and turning towards the interior of her luminous house, she finds herself in the destination of the perfect fruits.

Ana María is a cultist of color, a teacher of form, a goldsmith of gentle details. Suddenly she discovers the intimate universe of oranges and enters it, as if returning to a strange and joyous maturity: that of a revived childhood.

For Ana María, these abundant oranges, these vigorous grapes, these kind strawberries, are full of life of their own, they have a personality impregnated with light, they form a kind of community of destiny. And being as such, they serve the diligent painter to form a whole world of values. Being so immensely captivating, the fruits of Ana María also represent a remarkable longing for harmony and spiritual peace.

These fruit universes symbolize a virtual reality of deep vital resonances. And by way of understanding and form, heartfelt alternatives of unsurpassed cosmic grace are taking shape.

Ana María truly invents and builds a world of her own, in which the magical colors of the typical Salvadoran and the spiritual images of her own perpetual girl fantasy coexist harmoniously. In her artwork there is grace and light together with a stately sense that makes each of her creations a universe of personal suggestions.

The exuberant chromaticism, the lucidity of the composition, the tenderness of the work, makes Ana María’s work a true coexistence of wonders. One can stop before each painting and be there, for hours, receiving the flow of a living imagination, which is always given to us with the soul of a woman.

Salvadoran artwork had never had a vitality as gentle as that given by Ana María. She likes to say that her work is spontaneous. It really is, and that is why it develops such a delicate yearning for perfection. A longing that uses shapes and colors to dream of a metaphysics of its own.

These organized floods of oranges are a presentation of the cosmos that the early philosophers intuited. The wonder — the source of philosophy — is the energy of this soft and fiery creation that is so personal.

From the sun and the earth comes the power that illuminates Ana María's hands. Her work is endearing and delightful, original and fruitful. So it has the mark of permanence.
