The Top Art Galleries In Guayaquil

Finding original works by talented Ecuadorian artists is easy in the port city of Guayaquil. Most galleries are located in one of two neighborhoods: along the street of Calle Numa Pompilio Llona in Las Peñas, and near Calle 9 NO in Urdesa. A new kind of gallery and exhibition space also recently opened in the Samborondón district. Each location offers its own special flair.

Galleries in Las Peñas

Galería de Hermel Quezada

Hermel Quezada works in the style of magical realism. His work is bright, colorful, and whimsical, perhaps a reflection of the rainbow-colored houses in the surrounding Las Peñas neighborhood. The paintings in his gallery are available to buy.

Galería de Roberto Saavedra Walker

Roberto Saavedra Walker sells his work from a gallery/workshop on Calle Numa Pompilio Llona, a street in Las Peñas known for being home to several art galleries. Throughout his career, he has explored several media, but he is best known for his oil paintings. His best works are abstract, playing with ancient themes in a modern and surrealist style.

Casa del Artista Plastico, located in the colorful neighborhood of Las Peñas, offers hands-on classes in painting, and provides exhibition space to local artists. On weekends and holidays, the Casa del Artista Plastico spills out onto the local street, a pedestrian walkway, and becomes a market for artists selling their work.
