The European dichotomy good/evil was a concept found hard to comprehend. To them the world at heart was good ('cualli' in Nahuatl); with no notion of '(d)evil', these could only be translated as 'amo cualli' (not good). As for 'sin' - 'what the hell is that?'!

Here are some of my more recents that have become my favs, including a “Draw this in your style” with my original character, a mesoamerican mythical creature known as a Quinametzin! Her name is Nennemiz, náhuatl for “She will walk”. I love drawing themes of glowy floaty magic🔮✨
