¿En donde está tu amor; a donde se marchó?
Dark Letters
My show at Art Bug Gallery opens on Saturday!
The Triptych of Maguey, the sacred plant of Mesoamerica, will be on display at this show! It consists of the central painting, in which appears Mayahuel, Lady of Maguey, and two accompanying paintings of Pahtecatl, Lord of Pulque, and Ometochtli, Lord of Drunkenness.
Our ancestors considered alcoholic beverages to be a means of communication with the Teteo. Drunkenness is a state of divine connection, through which inspiration, devotion, love, violence and courage are shared with us.
You can find these paintings as prints in my Etsy store!
In this scene, Mayahuel, Our Lady Maguey, appears breastfeeding a plumed fish. It is a profoundly symbolic image which shows Her role as mother and nurturer. The plumed fish is a visual metaphor that alludes to Mimich, one of the most ancient divine ancestors of the Mexica. Lord Mimich was a chichimeca, part of a nomad group, and His death represents the foundation of the first villages and cities. The symbol of the plumed fish refers to preciousness, which can be found in the wisdom of our ancestors. The scene, thus, presents Mayahuel, the plant of maguey, as nurturer of humankind from the most ancient of times.
