The Altos de Jajóme School was founded by Marcos Carvajal Med and Dr. Pedro Schuck Phd in the mountains of Sierra de Cayey in Puerto Rico with the idea that we can all release the creative capacity by being original beings and independent of other people's experiences. We can discover and release creativity for ourselves.
We can all have access to the creative powers of inventiveness, intuition, imagination and our Higher Consciousness. We search for the meaning of our lives and we can find it in ourselves. What we have to know is our symbolic language.
Art allows us that journey towards ourselves.
At the Altos de Jájome Art School we have the goal of facilitating adult creativity through the development of skills in the visual arts. This process we carry out through workshops designed for people with or without previous experience in the visual arts.

Si podemos descubrir y liberar la creatividad por nosotros mismos.
Todos podemos tener acceso a los poderes creativos de la inventiva, la intuición, la imaginación y de nuestra Conciencia Superior. Buscamos el significado de nuestras vidas y podemos hallarlo en nosotros mismos. Lo que tenemos que hacer es conocer nuestro lenguaje simbólico. El arte nos permite ese viaje hacia nosotros mismos.
En La Escuela de Arte Altos de Jájome tenemos la meta de facilitar la creatividad del adulto a través del desarrollo de sus habilidades en las artes visuales. Este proceso lo llevamos a cabo a través de talleres diseñados para personas con o sin experiencia previa en las artes visuales.
Artist's Statement
"My interests in the fine arts began in Cuba when I was a child. Initially, it was my father who influenced me in the development of artistic abilities, as well as in the visualization of reality and its spiritual dimension. Due to the knowledge acquired from him, I learned to make connections between self, material and spiritual realms.
"My commitment to the field of art was the driving force in the study of art history, education, and production using different media and technologies in the visual arts. In time, I discovered a large space with expanded dimensions for the expression of my visual and spiritual languages in an integrated manner - a language that expresses a state of harmony using colors, forms and textures".
