Yarn Painting – 60 x 120 cm

Composition and Symbolism

The canvas is divided into two large mandalas or energetic circles that represent the duality and balance of the cosmos:

• The Circle of Creation (Left): With a deep blue background that evokes water and the origin of life, this space houses the Kauyumari (the Blue Deer) and sacred birds that guard the Hikuri (peyote). The lit candles symbolize the light of knowledge and the spiritual guidance of shamans or mara’akate.

• The Medicine Wheel (Right): Dominated by a vibrant pink tone and a concentric design, it safeguards at its center a stylized peyote flower with a blue eight-pointed star. This symbol represents communion with the ancestors and the healing of the spirit.

At the central axis of the composition emerges the imposing figure of the Tatewari (our grandfather fire), manifested through anthropomorphic deities in warm tones that seem to dance. Throughout the work, multiple deer in motion can be seen —divine messengers that connect the earthly world with that of the gods—, sacred arrows (tsikuri) that direct prayers toward the heavens, and rain iconography that implores for the fertility of the earth.

Artistic and Cultural Value

Each yarn line has been placed with precision, creating a unique tactile relief and an electrifying chromatic contrast where neon and earthy colors coexist harmoniously. Acquiring a work of this caliber is to possess a living fragment of pre-Hispanic Mexico, a contemporary piece imbued with mythology, devotion, and invaluable artistic heritage. Ideal for collectors of folk art and spaces seeking a profound cultural identity.
