"For the children that death took while playing, for the men that dimmed while working, for the poor that failed while loving, I will paint with the scream of a shotgun, with the power of thunder and the fury of battle” Guayasamin
“If we do not have the strength to shake everyone else’s hand, if we do not have the tenderness to hold the children of the world in our arms, if we do not have the will to clean the earth of all its armies; this small planet will become a parched black body in space” Guayasamin

There are many reason why we travel, if you travel to know more about our world and the humanity in each of us, then the Guayasamin Museum should be added to your itinerary. His pieces of art emotionally depict the trials and trauma that surround each of us around the globe.
