A Promise of Health brings a special offer of original art notecards by well known Yucatán artist Julio Castillo. 

Julio’s works vividly capture the everyday life of the Maya people. A native Yucateco, Julio recalls in his pastels and painting early days in Mérida and his visits to Maya villages.

“Many people have asked me why there are more women than men in my paintings.”

“My reply is that among the Maya, it is very common for a man to leave his home, breaking away from all responsibility and obligation. But these wonderful women, even in the most adverse situations, remain true. It is their care and love that makes the home.”

 “My work is homage to these women and their identity. My admiration is for these ingenious people, who struggle, defend and love their roots.” … Julio Castillo

There are 8 different notecards with envelopes to a package. These are all displayed on this webpage. They are printed on special art card stock, accurately reproducing the actual colors of his work. To help A Promise of Health, Julio, who is a wonderful supporter of our healthcare mission, has given exclusive rights to his works to sell in the United States as a fundraiser.
