Chris Emmanuel - Original Oil on Canvas "Through the art of intense learning comes art. Like the grinds left after a fresh brew of coffee. The coffee is the knowledge- the sweet bitter taste of life's lesson. The grind is the art-it is the hard fabric of what is left of the journey- the proof, passed and frozen in time. As the coffee to the grind-so the experience is to the art."
Chris Emmanuel

Early in his teens, he started traveling in Belize and mingling with people from many different cultures: Mayas, East Indians, Creole and Garinagu with which he lived from 13 to 17 years old. His use of vibrant colours and people so full of life springs up from his paintings.

Art in Belize is a short documentary about three galleries who sell art in three very unique ways. The first one, "Belizean Arts Gallery", is quite traditional, but the second, "The Gallery", sells art in a most unusual way, and the third "Cooper's Art Gallery", treats art in a distinctive fashion. The film displays the work of Walter Castillo, Nelson Young, Papo, and Leo Vasquez.
