Teyo Orellana is a Salvadoran artist born in 1968, he began his training career studying medicine, but the photograph caught his attention from those years, devoting himself entirely to it and taking several seminars and courses, including one with the Guatemalan artist Luis González Palma in 1997.
A frequent theme in his production has been the female body, naked and full of sensuality expressed through very precise, compositional and lighting level details. With his series\' American Beauty, the artist has challenged the traditional canons of female beauty, achieving very original images that encourage reflection by the viewer as to the subjectivity of what is considered beautiful inside our society and the consequences of reach this ideal.
Although most of its production is within the field of photography, in recent years it has also developed the sculpture. His work has been exhibited in four solo shows and twelve collective.
He has received several awards for his work: Award for Lifetime Achievement awarded by the National Registration Center (2007); Honorable Mentions in Paiz Art Biennale (2005 and 2001) and Special Mentions in Latin American Art Auction Juannio of Guatemala (2006 and 2004) as well as SUMARTE (2006). Since 2011, one of his photographic is at the permanent exhibition Compass Time, processes and influences on the Salvadoran Art at the Art Museum of El Salvador (MARTE), a proposal for Contemporary Art.
