Marcos is a self taught artist, born and raised with his eleven brothers and sisters in Bullet Tree Falls, a small Peten village nested in the rolling hills of the mighty jungle of the Mayan mountains in Western Belize close to the Guatemalan and Mexican borders.
He draws his inspiration and energy from the surrounding beauty of the omnipresent nature where he permanently lives along the bank of a splendid river where this gentle soul looks after iguanas and parrots, a calling which made him the topic of a National Geographic documentary.
