"Castillos (Castle)" is a canvas that encapsulates a mesmerizing journey through the untouched Mexican countryside. The painting vividly narrates an expedition surrounded by free-roaming wild horses, sprawling hill valleys, and the reflective sheen of a majestic river.
At the heart of this landscape, the painting unveils the magnificence of an ancient pyramid, seemingly reaching out to touch the heavens. This towering structure stands as a testament to the celestial reverence of the Otomi people. The site, dedicated to the Moon, the Sun, and Venus, echoes the Otomi's deep-rooted beliefs in the dualities of existence: the juxtaposition of the heavens and earth, the feminine & Masculine , and the interplay between the Sun and Moon.
Every brushstroke captures the profound spiritual essence of the House of the Thirteen Heavens. "Castillos" is more than just a painting; it's an odyssey, beckoning viewers to explore the sacred mysteries of ancient Mexican civilizations and immerse themselves in the beauty and spirituality of the land.
