ABOUT THE ARTWORK

En Mesoamérica nació el maíz. Esta ha sido una gran contribución a la agricultura, siendo en la actualidad la semilla de mayor consumo. "Tlalticpac" es una palabra náhuatl que significa "la tierra", que es el primer piso terrestre en la Estructura del Cosmos según los nahuas*. Para el calendario de Mesoamérica, es fundamental el tiempo agrícola. En esta obra, de los surcos surgen la mano y la mazorca que están integrados. *Basado en las investigaciones de Alfredo López Austin Tlaltilpac, the Earth Corn was born in Mesoamerica. This has been a great contribution to agriculture, being currently the most consumed seed. "Tlalticpac" is a Nahuatl word that means "the earth", which is the first terrestrial floor in the Structure of the Cosmos according to the Nahuas*. For the Mesoamerican calendar, agricultural time is fundamental. In this work, the hand and the cob emerge from the grooves, which are integrated. *Based on research by Alfredo López Austin .

At a very early age I decided that I would dedicate my life to art, I had this certainty when I found magic, discovering that I could express my admiration to great human beings with a simple pencil drawing. Since then, art has been my oasis and my refuge has accompanied me at every moment. Experimenting in this wonderful world of aesthetics has strengthened me and allowed me to conquer myself and manifest through my work the most legitimate and true nature as a person through my creations. I have been able to manifest my emotions and feelings that have illuminated my path to fulfillment and self-knowledge. My greatest desire is to achieve that my work is like a mirror, in which people who contemplate it, reflect themselves in the awakening of the consciousness of the beauty that is within us. With the aesthetic enjoyment that we all carry within and that we are capable to feel like the highest mission in art because from this deep sense of connection we know that we are part of this great Creation, aware that we are all One. A muy temprana edad decidí que dedicaría mi vida al arte, tuve esa certeza cuando encontré la magia, descubriendo que podía expresar mi admiración a grandiosos seres humanos, con un sencillo dibujo a lápiz. Desde entones, el arte ha sido mi oasis y mi refugio, el cual me ha acompañado en todo momento. Experimentar en este maravilloso mundo de la Estética, me ha fortalecido y me ha permitido conquistarme a mí misma y manifestar a través de mi obra mi más legítima y verdadera naturaleza como persona. A través de mis creaciones, he podido manifestar mis emociones y sentimientos que han iluminado el camino hacia la realización y el autoconocimiento. Mi mayor anhelo es lograr que mi obra sea como un espejo, en el cual las personas que la contemplen se vean reflejadas y puedan verse a sí mismas en el despertar de la consciencia de lo bello que alberga nuestro interior. Con el gozo estético que todos llevamos dentro y que somos capaces de sentir como la más alta misión del arte, porque desde este profundo sentido de conexión, nos sabemos parte de esta gran Creación, conscientes que todos somos Uno.
