Phantom Galleries is proud to present:

Mis Raises / My Roots
Leysar Garcia Sandoval solo exhibition

My work represents the Indigenous peoples of Guatemala, who are survivors of genocide and are striving to preserve their culture. They are people who struggle every day against a government system that neither supports them nor allows them to pass on their culture and traditions to future generations.

In addition to this, I also highlight the beauty of their clothing, which is made from natural resources. Through my paintings, I seek to teach and share stories of people who are still alive and continue to fight to preserve the cultural identity of Guatemala.

Artist's reception: Friday, November 7th 5pm–9pm
during First Fridays ArtWalk SJ

Exhibition dates: November 7–January 17, 2026
