El Arbol de Dios
Arbol de Dios is the gallery, workshop, and nonprofit office of El Salvador's most revered living artist, Fernando Llort, who founded an art movement in a small mountain town in 1972 by teaching locals to use available materials to express their lives. His colorful style of art, which is filled with natural and religious references, has since swept the country and can be found in hundreds of shops and at the National Cathedral. The gallery includes a gift store, screen-printing workshop, and a ceramic space on the back patio and takes about 40 minutes to explore. If you want to see a few of the original pieces that inspired thousands of copies, this is the place. If you're not that into art or Llort, it may not be worth the trip.
