    Description

    Digital Art Giclee print on canvas. Scene of the Aztec myth telling when the Sun and War God Huitzilopochtli was born. According to legend, Coatlicue-Tonantzin, the Mother Earth Goddess, was swiping with her broom on the top of a sacred mountain when a falling feather got her pregnant. Her daughters found her unmarried pregnancy as a disgrace, so led by their elder sister Coyolxauhqui, the Moon Goddess, the 400 Star-Goddesses decided to kill their mother. But before Coyolxauhqui could hurt Tonanzin, Huitzilopochtli was born fully grown and already dressed as a warrior, and in a second he dismembered Coyolxauhqui, throwing her head to the sky, where it stands shining in the night sky until this day.

    This Myth symbolizes the triumph of the Sun over darkness on the winter solstice.

    Limited Series of 20 framed prints.

  • About this artist

    Concept

    Gus Arrieta is a multidisciplinary artist from Mexico City with an expressive and playful style that blends Spirituality and Magic with his passion for Folklore, Pop Culture, and Urban Art. This meeting between the old and the modern, just like not so long ago his natal country came to be, gives birth to his work. This is the reason why Mexican iconography has been almost always present in his artistic expressions.

    He is specialized mostly in painting and drawing with different technics like acrylics, oils, mural painting, ink, and digital art. However, he also does tattoos, mosaic art, woodcarving, sculpture, music, and writing.

    His deep interest in mythology, symbolism, and iconography of cultures and religions all over the world is incorporated in his art pieces, that is why the encounter with his work acts as a nexus between opposite poles, skipping the dialogue between artist and viewer as an intuitive experience in itself. As he states: Art for the Third Eye.
