Her passion for writing emerged in 2014 as a result of occupational therapy while recovering from an accident. She called these writings Rites of Solitude, which for her were a space for reflection on human adversity and misery.

Another artist of the Generation of 40 Little is said about Juan Antonio Franco these days. The difficulty in locating written material about his legacy has meant that his biography is treated only briefly in contemporary compendiums. Franco, as his contemporaries called him, began drawing as a child.
He spent much of his childhood on a farm in Colomba Costa Cuca. Shortly before his death, he recalled going out to capture everything around him with pencil and paper. He copied everything from flowers, plants, animals, and people. Hence, much of his imagery revolves around farmers and their social dynamics.
Amalia Fumagalli gave him his first paints and drawing paper. She would later become his watercolor teacher. In 1936, at a very opportune moment, he enrolled at the National School of Plastic Arts (then the Academy of Fine Arts). There, he not only met excellent mentors, but also became part of a class of artists who defined national modernity.
He arrived at ENAP and La Esmeralda at the right time.
In 1942, already in Mexico, he enrolled at La Esmeralda, where María Izquierdo, Alfredo Zalce, and Frida Kahlo, among others, served as teachers. Once again, he had arrived at an opportune moment, as it wouldn't be long before he was assisting Diego Rivera in purely technical duties.
In 1948, he left Rivera to move to San Miguel Allende as a "mural painting teacher." There, he executed a fresco mural in the Convent of La Concepción. A little later, he returned to Mexico City to work as an assistant to José Clemente Orozco, whom he had met in 1944. In this case, he executed the murals for the Teachers' College from sketches.
In 1949, he returned to Guatemala. He enrolled in Sakerti and went on to teach various courses at the National School of Fine Arts. In 1950, he won a scholarship to the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, Milan (Italy), and Paris, where, among other subjects, he studied restoration. Around 1954, he returned to Mexico to work on the restoration of several murals by Rivera and Orozco.
From 1968, he was a full professor at the School of Fine Arts, where he worked until 1978. He also served as a restorer at the Institute of Anthropology and History. He also taught at the Popular University.
There isn't much Franco mural work in Guatemala. There are two large frescoes in the Federation Type School in Mixco; another in a private home; Victims of violence, and a Ravenna-style mosaic mural at the Central American and Panama Institute of Nutrition (covered by a wall). Several works in print, drawing, and painting are held in various national and private collections.
Agust Julajuj has grown up painting and has perfected his artistic journey.

The learning of the artist from Pixabaj, Sololá, A resident of the capital city, he developed his skills from childhood. In first grade, he won second place in the drawing contest held in his village, and from then on, he continued to practice. In high school, he was asked to paint a landscape with tempera. “I discovered with this technique that I loved colors.”, he mentioned.
Julajuj stated that he has not taken any courses, and that his brush has been working non-stop on his works on cardboard, paper, and canvas. “Over time, I have painted my works in oils and exhibited them on the streets and in shopping malls.”, he acknowledged.
His works have been perfected thanks to a friend who gave him advice on how to prepare a canvas and master the oil painting technique after learning tempera. "Later, I began working in the world of murals with acrylic, enamel, satin, and mixed media," the artist stated.
