About The Artwork
“Chalchiuhtlicue with a broken jug” relief, Codex Borgia, plate 20. Digitally modified by MM in 2022 on light blue background. Mixed media, Giclée, ink on paper. For the new Ñundeui book I need a powerful image of Chalchiuhtlicue, the goddess of running water. I chose this mysterious image from the Codex Borgia, plate 20. When highlighting ancient pictograms I start by copying the original shapes and colors. In this case my first illustration of the goddess, invisible like the night and intangible like the wind, was too straightforward and “realistic”. I reshaped the image by adding a relief to the figure and cleaning up the overlap inconsistencies. Now the goddess has the presence and complexity to face the power and mystery of the “Waterfall in the jungle”.

As an industrial photographer from Cologne, Germany, based since 1967 in Mexico City, I used my craft for decades to document scenes and subjects in sharp, detailed and well lit images. Back in the seventies, when simulating views of other planets, I was looking for a different perception of reality and found it with infrared color film. Today I enjoy a creative freedom similar to that of a painter. With the right combination of photograph and digital manipulation I can create images that are a tribute to imagination and beauty. Starting in 2019 I present on Saatchiart 15 collections as a synopsis of my photography, some digitally remastered and others digitally modified, for sale as archival inkjet prints in different sizes.
