Hunter Biden's art business is starting to pick up and has Mexico as its main market. Gallery owners and private collectors from Mexico City and Monterrey, questioned by LPO, report that the son of the President of the United States has sold more than 15 paintings in the country this year so far, with values raging from U$ 50,000 to U$ 75,000.

The paintings have an experimental, undefined style, but their rapid increase in sales is simply due to the fact that the author is the son of the president of the United States. This Mexican success has set off alarm bells in Washington DC.

The former official has voiced his concern that Hunter Biden's art business may be an issue because buyers could seek some sort of influence in matters of domestic and international politics.

In fact, this is not the presidential family's first contact with the Country. Hunter Biden suffered from addiction in his past and much of his treatment was done in private clinics in northern Mexico.

In Mexico, Biden's paintings have been acquired by political figures and senior executives of major companies in the Country.
