Así quedó terminado este gatito con flores de biznaga.
Fue un encargo del retrato de un gatito que se llama Kufus, muy parecido a Paquito y Lupito por esas rayitas de tigre. En estos días también viajará a California con su dueña!

Haciendo limpieza de mis archivos digitales encontré este boceto de Mayahuel Alimentando a Tochtli del 2016. En ese momento me invitaron a participar con algunas piezas con el tema de la historia del pulque; una bebida que se extrae del maguey. A partir de la leyenda de mayahuel hice este boceto donde ella alimenta con su pulque, leche vital; a uno de los 400 conejos mencionados en la leyenda. La figura del conejo está inspirada en los códices mesoamericanos.
Posteriormente ponte una versión de esta obra que actualmente se encuentra en una colección particular.

It is believed that Spanish or Portuguese are the most important languages of Latinidad. However, there are millions of people that speak many indigenous languages throughout Latin America. Spanish and Portuguese languages are one thing that unites most of Latin America, but those languages were imposed on the region through European colonization. It’s one reason some Mexican writers have rejected Spanish to write in indigenous languages.
There are some apps that can can be used to help you learn some indigenous languages of Latin America. Unfortunately, there aren’t many, but here are a few resources:
1. Náhuatl - With an estimated 1.5 million speakers, Náhuatl is the most commonly spoken indigenous language in Mexico.
2.Mixtec - The Mixtec languages belong to the Otomanguean language family of Mexico and they are spoken by over half a million people, and can include up to 50 different dialects.
3.Quechua- Quechua is one of the most widely spoken indigenous languages in the Americas and encompasses many different dialects. The Quechua people primarily live in the Andes and highland regions of South America and include nearly 8 million people.
Habla Quechua by PromPerú: available on iOSandAndroid (available in English, French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish)
4. Purépecha - The Purépecha or Tarascans are a group of indigenous people centered in the northwestern region of Michoacán, Mexico. The languages is spoken by a quarter-million people.
5. Jopará (Guaraní) - Jopará is a dialect of the Guaraní indigenous language and is spoken in Paraguay. The majority of Paraguayans speak some form of this dialect, as it is a mixture of Guaraní and Spanish loan words.
2.Instituto de Investigación de la Amazonía Peruana (IIAP) - the IIAP has created apps for learning indigenous languages from the Amazon region of Peru and Brazil. Though these apps are geared for children, they are helpful for beginning to familiarize yourself with the languages: available on Android (Spanish only)
After doing extensive research, these were the only free apps I was able to find, but if you know of any other free apps for learning indigenous languages of Latin America, please add on!
