El Arbol de Dios (The Tree of God), San Salvador

The Tree of God Gallery stands as a colorful testament to Salvadoran art and identity. Founded by the celebrated painter and ceramist Fernando Llort in 1981, this gallery and cultural center was established as part of his mission to promote native art with professionalism and heartfelt creativity. Operating as a gallery, workshop, shop, and nonprofit venue, today it continues to honor Llort’s legacy while keeping his artistic vision alive in the capital.

Inside, you'll encounter original paintings, serigraphs, lithographs, canvases, and hand-crafted items like ceramics, textiles, bags, and prints-all featuring Llort’s distinctive style rooted in Mayan-inspired naif designs and color palettes. Visitors share that tours are often guided by his son, and they’ve had the privilege of meeting artisans who hand-paint each piece, lending personal warmth to the visit.
