Descripción del vendedor

This painting explores death and the destination of the souls for our ancestors, the Mexica. The body contains within itself numerous animating energies, or souls. The three most important of these are the Tonalli, the Teyollia, and the Ihiyotl. These are independent entities, who possess agency and will. Together, they give life, warmth, and vitality to the body, and compose our spiritual self. In the crown of our head dwells the Tonalli, which is associated with the heavens, and which expresses itself physically as growth, as hair and nails. It is the vivifying force of heat which warms our bodies, and in it is contained thought and will, the knowledge of right and wrong, and it is linked to our destiny. Our Teyollia resides in our heart, and is linked to the earth. It is the site of love, personality, and emotional wisdom, and like the Tonalli rules thought. It is expressed in the body as blood and breath. The Ihiyotl resides in the liver, and rises up from the underworld. It is the site of vitality, passion, sexuality, greed, envy, and all of the powerful emotions which rise up, unbidden, and without control. It is expressed physically in the body as gas and feces. Finally, we possess Nahualli, Spirit Animals, who travel to the Spirit World in dreams, and who live there, engaging with the Teteo, the Gods, and the ancestors, on our behalf. All of these different entities, plus numerous others, dwell within us, giving us life and tying us to destiny and the cosmos. In death, these different souls leave our body, ultimately reuniting with Ometeotl and returning to the fabric of the cosmos. In the painting, the man lies dying. He wears the skull-mask of Mictlantecuhtli, the Lord of Death, and stares out with His dead, unseeing eyes. He floats above Cipactli, the Earth, who awaits, as the tomb, to consume him. From the crown of his head emerges a serpent. This serpent represents his Tonalli, which rises to Omeyocan, the Thirteenth Heaven, the source of all heat, wisdom, and life, where it will reunite with Ometeotl. From his mouth emerges his breath, in the form of a Breath Serpent, whose head is that of Ehecatl, the Lord of the Wind. This represents the escape of his Teyollia, his Heart-Soul from his body. It will now journey to the underworld, Mictlan, and pass through the nine layers of the Land of the Dead, where all memory, thought, personality, and ego, will be stripped of it, so that it too becomes pure in the light of Ometeotl. From his heart emerges one of his Nahualli, his Spirit Animals, in this case in the form of a hummingbird. His own head looks out of its mouth, to symbolize that it is his Spirit Animal. It will die just as he has died, and itself return to the embrace of Ometeotl. Finally, he expels gas in the form of a skeletal centipede, with the mask of Death. This represents his Ihiyotl, the soul which resides in his liver. It emerges as his passion, his sin, his vital force. Above its head is a mountain-glyph. This is the Sacred Mountain. The Ihiyotl thus returns to the underworld, from which it had arisen, where it will dissolve and return to the divine continuum of Ometeotl. This painting represents the moment of death, as the forces which give us life abandon us, and we are stripped of ego and individuality, and become as one with the totality of being.

Aunque el embalaje se dañó durante el transporte, ¡la obra de arte del interior estaba totalmente bien! Ahora tengo esto (y la impresión extra) enmarcados en mi pared y me encantan ambos. ¡Gracias! :)

Ten paciencia si estás en Europa. El cartel llegó a Londres desde la Ciudad de México en perfectas condiciones el 06 de junio después de haber sido colgado el 14 de abril. Son ocho semanas, pero vale la pena la espera. Hermoso trabajo y acabados de muy buena calidad.
