Artwork description
Inspired by Cipactli, the primordial earth being from Guatemalas cosmology, I reimagined this ancestral force as a guardian of our planet. In the center of the creature, I painted a radiant sun, symbolizing the source of life, balance, and the energy that connects all living beings.
Surrounded by birds, flora, and fauna, the mural celebrates biodiversity while drawing attention to the environmental challenges we face today: pollution, the oil industry, overconsumption, and the climate crisis.
Rather than illustrating the myth literally, I reinterpret Cipactli as a contemporary guardian of the Earth, carrying the sun as a symbol of hope, life, and our shared responsibility to protect the planet.
Our forests are the Earth’s lungs. Protecting nature means protecting our future.
