He has exhibited in art galleries in Madrid, Paris, Venice, Washington, Japan, Mexico, Guatemala.

He attended the National School of Fine Arts in Guatemala, where he completed his studies in 1982, having exhibited in various galleries and important events in Guatemala, winning numerous awards. Not satisfied with his art and being extremely perfectionist, Juan Yoc "continues to create and improve"presenting art works of great intensity and high artistic quality. His many techniques include engraving, acrylic, painting, drawing and illustration. His works start from a blank space without any preconceived ideas, he goes by intuition, surprise and improvisation. The oniric symbolism of his paintings, influenced by the Renaissance design, convey us to a surreal world, making them unique. According to Juan Yoc "our reality is a mixture of painted dreams, like day dreaming." In 1991 he moved to Spain where he has made most of his works. For Juan Yoc his painting...is life. |
