Birth of Indigenous People

Oil on Card, wood mounted, Feltham, 2002

73cm x 49cm image only (84cm x 59cm with border and mount)

Guadalupe's inspiration for this painting comes from his native Aztec culture, and his understanding and interpretation of indigenous life.

This particular painting represents a "lovely place with some kind of celebration of corn in a small village, with some very Mexican colours."

In the middle is a guitar, and the circles around it represent birth, reflecting the shape of the moon at ritual ceremonies.
