My show at Art Bug Gallery opens in a few days!
In this exhibit you will be able to see my original painting of Ometeotl, which metaphorically represents the Mesoamerican creator divinity
In the painting, blood flows from Her open mouth, from the flint knife to Her navel, upon which lies a precious jade stone. From the jade-stone are born the first man and woman, who represent all humanity
This is a detail from my Tonalco Tlaltecuhtli painting.Tlaltecuhtli is the Lord and Lady of the Earth. During the summer She is all abundance, and She provides for every living thing that thrives on Her surface. Her gifts are great, for they are life itself
She is the Earth itself; Her elbows, breasts, and belly are mountains, Her navel, the hollow of Her throat, the folds that wrap across Her stomach are valleys, and Her mouth and womb caves, entrances by which to enter her body
The gathered Teteo threw a rabbit in the face of the Lord of Snails, thus dimming his brilliance and transforming him into the moon.
This painting will be on display at my show at @Artbugallery
You can also find it as a print in my Etsy store!

In honor of the sacrifices of the two Teteo, the jaguar and the eagle leapt over the flame, thereby proving their bravery and acquiring their stripes and spots from the smoky ashes of the fire. The sacrificed Teteo arose in the East as two great suns
The Lord of Snails, when he saw this, felt ashamed, and leapt also into the Spirit Fire, but even then, because of his cowardice, he leapt only into its coals and ashes, where he too was consumed by the fire
The Lord of Snails grew afraid when he felt the extreme heat of the Spirit Fire, and held back. Nanahuatzin, however, fearlessly went forward and leapt into the heart of the Spirit Fire
